Setting the Caseih

[Guest]

Drives me crazy when Im combining and not sure if the combine is throwing over more than others. What do others set there Case IH 9230 8230 at in Canola. My settings are sieves 10mm and 9mm, pre sieve 1, rotor 850 fan 800. Spreader 550. Seems to have a bit going over the sieves. If you could help me out that would be great.

pre sieve 2-3, sieve 8, Chaffer 12, rotor 500, wind 730, slow feeder house as slow as possible, same with spreader, tailboard middle , narrow concaves, big tube rotor better . front end slowing is real important.
are you sure the canola going out isn't dried up shit ?

The canola council losses were all harvesting losses including shelling from swathing and wind thrashing the swath as it lies as well as the combine losses. All together, there is significant losses with canola. Last year we had canola lay in swath for 2 months here. Some weight reduction occurs from multiple wet dry cycles.

with the rotor speed at that and if your feeder house isn't slowed down , you are probably overloading sieves with ground up straw .

I changed the settings on the 9240 3 times yesterday. And adjusted a few times .
One note though I went from 2 lb seed rate to 4.5 . There was a big difference there in how it went through the rotor.
This canola , like most everyone's I assume, dried fast and has not been rained on ?
In general the best I am finding it is
Rotor 600 - 630
Concave 22-25
Wind 630/660
Pre sieve 1
Top 9
Bottom 11
Feeder chains 480
Spinners 400
For the most part during the day I found I had very low loss but had to feed it around 1050 to 1150 bus / hr
Any less my sieve losses would go up and any more it got bad quick .
I tried several other settings but could not get below 1.25 bus / ac . I could get below 1 bus to .5 with the above settings .
The same canola seeded with the planter on the same day was a different animal .
I had to have rotor 650 to 660 , concave 18/20 , everything else the same but had to stay below 1000 bph. Usually 950 ish and could rarely get below 1.5 bus loss.
This was 45CS40 . I have a feeling from what I've seen that every variety , yield and General growing conditions these combines are going to react quite different.
Not sure if that helps , I am a newbie on a Case . These machines seem to react to daily conditions much like the Massey Rotors. They do change quite a lot during the day and especially after sun set .
We have been dropping the Scher- Grain drop pans and setting to loss monitor according. It takes out all the guess work.
I kinda miss the S78 Gleaner , it stayed the same all day and night . But just could not feed canola very well with that feed house and could rarely get more than 650 bph out of it .

Its also the small tube rotor doing that Big tube never changes. But takes a lot more fuel and power. We have one of each but not sure which is better .if you have flax you will have more trouble with the small one. Or red clover , alfalfa , etc

Ok thx , good to know 👍

[Guest]

got into canola today , the one with the small tube is doing a shitty job . can't get straw out . the one with the large tube rotor is doing an excellent job. rotor-500,Chaffer-15, sieve-9 , pre sieve -1, wind -640, concave 11, spreader and feeder slow as they go . canola testing 5 . need rain

Brokers selling grain bags will be the guys to ask. I will get a chance to ask one this week. Those of you up north maybe could ask the marketers that you know.

Anyone with a case IH with the extended auger , this will help in the wind ....


After the first hopper yesterday I thought this is b/s . There was no way I could unload at all into the tandems .
Canola was to tough yet so back to the yard . Grabbed a swather canvas , a flat iron and my drill .
1/2 hour later I made the FTWE.
It worked great all day , could unload on the go any direction into tandems in 60 plus k winds .
Saved a pile of time and frustration.
I hate losing time when there is a weather change coming

Use the same thing here on one machine
Don't forget to pay yourself
