Thought I d show you guys the results of the first 350 bu box of rye/peas mix I cleaned today. It worked pretty well after being away from home all week at a fellow YTer s place.
I got a very full super sack of field peas off the scalper screens that will need to be run through again. I figure maybe 1500 lbs. I got about 3 bushels of fine grain off the sieve screens. I got about 5 bushel of light chaff and withered seeds off the top air, and another 5 bushel of light grain off the bottom air.
The field this was taken off had the rye planted 26 October, basically the day the soybeans were cut. The peas were planted 25 April with a 1590 deere drill. It was swathed with a 15 hesston Draper machine on July 23rd, and picked up over the course of this past week with a gleaner L2. I filled a Parker 2600 and a big dakon box and 3/4 of a Parker 250. I estimate 800 bu uncleaned rye/peas off 22+/- acres, so 35 bu/a and 125 big squares off 19 acres and 250 small squares of about 3 acres.
