 Topic: all crop vs seed cleaner
Posted: 01 Sep 2016 at 8:00pm |
iv been thinking about getting me a seed cleaner. but then i got to thinking hey we have 3 old all crops i think 60s or 66s they havnt been used in 20 30 years but still in good shape my dad has told me the sample can come out as clean as if it came from a bag.. so why couldnt i make a seed cleaner outa one??
anyone ever done this??

If you feed it through the side door behind the concave it will work

If you want a man to be a successful farmer, give him a Allis Chalmers tractor. If you want him to be a successful mechanic, give him a John Deere

Ditto what Tom said. Grandpa used to do it all the time, and I've heard of several others that used their All-Crops as seed cleaners once they got bigger combines. Grandpa just cut a hole in the top of his separator and lined his grain auger up to dump through the hole. Said he used it that way for many years. Remove the grain bin, then extend the clean grain elevator spout to reach down and dump into another grain auger's boot, and then it gets augered into your truck or grain bin.

If you need clean grain you need a Clipper fanning mill. Grandpa had a 60 All Crop we can get a heck of a lot cleaner sample with our R62.

A seed cleaner was on my wants list but the more I looked into it the more I like the idea of buying the variety of seed I want from a known crop year in the bag, cleaned and ready to go. Cleaning and all that can sure be done at home and the small scale equipment and parts for some of the old is still available new! Bin run seed un-cleaned is the worst idea.
