The easiest way to check for losses is in the swath with the chaff
spreader and chopper disengaged.
Count the number of grains within your hand print. 1 grain per foot
of cutterbar is close to 1% loss.
Tips:
Where are the losses
coming from?
To work out what is coming from the
rotors engage the chaff spreader and
carry out a check behind the combine,
count the grains on the floor.
To check the losses from the sieves
disengage the chaff spreader and
engage the chopper and spread this
as wide as possible and then count
the grains.
Take into account what the grains look
like, unthreshed heads etc. Now make
the corresponding adjustments.
After adjusting the combine, make sure
that the monitors also reflect what you
will accept as a loss. Adjust monitor
sensitivity so that the blue area is
approaching the limit lines, the black line.
