I said they needed to be crowded to be kept full to shell some corn. I have seen varieties that where they would leave corn on the cob but you could not set the concave any tighter or they would split the cob. Solution was to go faster and crowd the corn through the concave. A JD 9000 series is a lot harder to get used to setting than the 20 and 00 series combines. You have to do it step at a time or you will never get them set right. [Reply]  [No Email]

The suggested settings are abysmal. This year I shelled some drought corn making 40 bushels and the combine did a good job without any cracking. You simply can't set these combines by the book. Actually, no combine can be. It is only a starting point, not gospel. If you know how a combine works you will set it by conditions, not by the "suggested settings". Mike [Reply]  [No Email]
