-Make sure you have 8 straight bars on the rotor.
-Make sure you are not plugging the concaves anywhere. Our concaves usually plug on the front RH side, mainly of the number 1 concave, unless we tighten the concave down quite a bit.
-Pulling wires and retarding vanes should help.
-Make sure you don't have any grain leaks, one location to look is the door held up by chains that the rock trap door seals against.
-How large is the head you use in soybeans? If your soybean throughput is typically limited by ground speed I would not be afraid to retard the vanes and leave them that way for soybeans.
-Make sure you have all keystock grates
-Do a kill stall and open the tailings boot - make sure you are not running a lot of tailings. If you are running a lot of tailings, run a few hundred feet with the tailings boot door open and see if your rotor loss goes down. Sometimes the rotor loss can be due to high tailings.

Edit - What is the engine RPM when you are harvesting? The AFX rotor typically does a good job in corn.
