Losses

When deciding what to adjust on the combine to reduce the amount of loss,
it is important to understand where the loss is coming from and what is acceptable.

If before, it is not cutterbar related.

At the front of the machine:

Is the loss happening before or after

the cutterbar?

Are they coming from the sieves

and/or walkers?

At the rear of the combine:

Are the losses acceptable?

Adjust the reel position or check the knife for damage or wear.

Fit lifters to lift any laid crop.

Always check the losses behind the combine after making an 
adjustment and then set up the monitors to show what is happening.

There is a guide in the CEBIS screen. There is also a free app, CEMOS 
Advisor. This will give you another tool to set up the combine.
