Subject: RE: 9510 Straw Walker Losses


I have a 914 pull type. I have my sons run it while I stand on back(top) to fine tune the adjustments and observe things.The combine has doors above the walkers that I put hinges on and while my sons combines I will open the door and watch the straw going in to the chopper. If the cylinder is right, and properly adjusted and threshing correctly the losses of grain over the walkers seems very minimal even in barleyfrom my experiences.As for loss over the seives, that is a different story.Good heavy uniform wheat is fairly easy to keep in the combine.Light kernals do blow away.If you dont use enough air they just ride over the sieves on the chaff. In barley it is harder to do a clean job of combining as the light stuff blows over the seives amd if there is not enough wind used the plump kernals also ride over on the chaff.
The straw walkers give 10 feet of cleaning (shaking)for the porus long straw and the seives only give around 40 inches of length and air does alot of the work.
