| Do it however it suits you.If you have the fan choked down it would probably work.Here's my thinking...grain threshing grain is least damaging.Keeping cyl full would require more ground speed ,the shoe set accordingly and the fan wide open. My F2 w/4-30s will pick 200bu corn at just under 4mph and put it all in the bin.l do have long round tooth charger with first 7 rows on separate lever (more open) and speed up kit on clean grain elevator.Not trying to be one,just that l have to make the most of my available time. |

A conventional combine is less sensitive to slow harvest speeds. Easily corrected with wind adjustment. A conventional does all of it's threshing pretty much grain on concave while a rotary needs more grain on grain to properly thresh. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| I didn't know that. Going slow really increases loss? Why is that? |

| When the shoe has full load on it,stuff floats across and separation is accomplished with air and shaking.The amount of air required tofloat a full shoe will blow out a lightly loaded shoe.When you turn on the ends the shoe unlods and some grain always gets blown out. |

Maybe that's why great-granddad always insisted on cutting corners! Grandpa told me he was always saying, "Keep 'er in the wheat!"
