I assume you have the large wire concaves in. We pulled every other wire in the front two concaves and retarded the veins. Both should help tremendously. Sometimes we'd put the wires back in for beans, sometimes we didn't, just depended on how hard the pods were threshing.

Probably have to straighten the veins back out for beans, doesn't seem to cut down on capacity in corn, but it WILL slow you down in beans.

Might also check to see if the concave indicator is actually zero'd out like it should be. If it is I'd probably tighten it down and slow it down some more. Slowing it down should help with the kernels going out the back, tighten it down to help keep from breaking cobs. We normally ran about 2 on the indicator in corn. If the concaves are open too much it will let the ears tumble and that will cause more to break and more trash.
