All crop 90 settings questions

[8NHENRY]

Brian out our new crop, and our oats are flat and weedy, but this is what we’re getting. Do we have the sieve too tight? Or what? Thankyou

I was using voice to text in the field. It’s supposed to be trying out the all crop 90.

I should never do this with my phone as I run into problems, but here’s a picture of oats

General setting would be top chaffer 2/3 open and cleaning sieve 1/3 open. Then play with the fan speed to get a clean sample but not throw too many out the rear.

Oats are a hard crop to get clean, the hulls are like little sails on the kernels so too much air can easily carry them out the back. Weedy crop also adds to the difficulty of getting a clean sample with the added foreign material coming through the machine. With all those larger stems in there it looks like your sieve could be closed some to helps towards a cleaner sample.

I think for the condition's you described you are doing pretty good!
I never used our ac 72 on oats ,so nothing very helpful.
I d check cylinder speed with manual , the cylinder height and the condition of the bars .
Does it have a scour cleaner ? Doesn’t look like it In photo .

Might consider ,we use our hay wagon with a tarp spread over the deck to sun dry out the green's when it got to weedy which was often the case when we planted late , before we stored it .
Can run it back thru the separater after it s dried ?

Are you cutting low into the next crop or is your field that weedy? That's an awful lot of green in there, even if your settings are all cattywampus. That will make for a hot time in the old bin....

They were that weedy. What I ended up doing was opening the concave to about a half an inch closing the serves quite a bit and turned up the air. That kept all the stems out and we just had some leaves left that we couldn’t blow out. It was only 3 acres The old all crop work really good. Thank you all for your advice.
