For laid-down crops, set the reel forward, reel speed
higher than the combine ground speed and the reel an-
gled to facilitate the gathering of the crop, the knife cut-
ting below the heads,
¿ g. M3. When using crop lifters,
the reel should feed the cut crop onto the table auger
with the reel tines in the normal position.
Adjust the straw dividers to reduce table losses and
improve feeding.
To avoid threshing losses caused by the straw dividers,
pay special attention to adjusting them according to the
conditions and crops.
Adjust the height of the dividers with slide piece D, ¿ g.
M4, so that in laid-down crops the dividers follow the
contours of the
¿ eld beneath the crop. In standing crops
the head of the divider should be set 10…cm above the
knife.
Adjust side guide plate B so that it prevents the cut crop
from getting between the table end and the reel end.
Long-strawed reclining or laid-down crops are limited
and lifted by upper guide plate A so that the reel can
gather the crop for cutting and convey it to the table au-
ger.
Side guide tube C is used in long-strawed crops to
move the uncut crop aside.
Estimation of Threshing Losses
2 % is generally considered the maximum acceptable threshing mechanism loss. The losses can be calculated as
follows: Estimated yield 5000 kg
ha, the weight of 1000 grains 35 g. Within the cutting width of the combine, max.
3 grains may be found in a palm-sized area of 1 sq.dm.
Sources of grain loss:
Shedding in the ¿ eld before harvesting
The table
Unthreshed grain
The shaker shoe
The straw walkers
Before making any readjustments, make a methodical check in the above order to determine the cause for the
loss. Make one adjustment at a time and check the result with a test run.
Check the crop in front of the combine well to ensure that shedding has not occurred before the machine has
touched the crops.
To test for the table loss, stop the combine and reverse it one combine length; any grain loss can easily be seen in
the
¿ eld.
