But I don’t understand why it is so hard to keep it full if it is the same rotor running at the same speed, it just has more clean grain capacity, more power, and more Chaffer if I understand correctly
I think you are on the right track. I think "keeping it full" is one of the greatest myths in farming. People cling to it aggressively just because it's their excuse for going faster. Go as fast as you want, but don't make up excuses for it.
I use my yield monitor to gauge separator load. My 9560 does well in most corn, running between 1000 bushel/hr and 2500 bushel/hr grain flow rate. It doesn't have to be kept "full", but it does have an operational range. Going over sends a little unseparated grain out the back. Going under cracks a little more grain and sometimes sends out incompletely threshed cobs.
In my example, if I consider the 2500 bu/hr to be "full"(100%), then what for me I consider the machine's minimum is 40%. It does better to be kept loaded, but that doesn't have to mean "full". It separates grain reasonably well at 40-50% load just fine. |
