All crop settings.

[Saunders2024]

Looking for settings for an all crop 72. Will be harvesting cereal rye in the next week or 2. I had a manual but it got wet. Looking for sieve and fan settings mostly. Also what screen would be used? Also looking for a reel drive belt and return grain clean out door. Thanks for any help.

From the 66 book for "Rye" which should be the same as for a 72:

Cylinder speed: 1400-1600
Cylinder bars: 8
Concave bars: 1-2
Shelling plate: 1/4 - 1/2
Concaves: 1/4 - 1/2
Wind vanes: 1/2
Chaffer: 2/3
Sieve: 1/3
Finishing screen: 5/32 X 3/4 (Wheat screen)
Tailing elevator sieve: 3/8

For parts, try contacting Tom Yaz at AllCropHarvester.com to see if he has a clean out door. Also he has scans of the parts manuals for all the All Crop combines online.

Looks like vbeltsupply has your reel belt if I have the right part number:

Hope this helps.

Might be worthwhile to buy a manual to find out the exact spec's. I'm sure you've seen this link below, but if not it might help you a little. I've used a 66 and 72 for fall rye before, but it was all more trial and error. 5/32" or 3/16" slotted screen (whatever you have for wheat is probably ok), air probably about 2/3 open, concaves probably set around 1/2" and dial it in from there. I usually run the concaves pretty fast and dial back if I notice a lot of shatter.

Just saw Skyhigh posted while I was typing mine - His recommendations are probably better than mine as they look like they were taken from the official manual. Just keep in mind that modern grain strains are usually a fair bit higher yielding than they were when the all-crops (and their manuals) came out: Slightly larger, heavier grain (more wind req'd, possibly larger finishing screens), and a lot more straw to process. Might have to go slow or only take part of a cut,

Thanks much. I had a manual but it got wet and I haven’t gotten a replacement yet. And thanks for the link. I have not see that before.
