John deere 95 corn settings

[bigmike71]

Anyone have info for corn settings? Running a 95 that we put a 4 row 444 corn header on. It had a grain header and last used a few years ago for oats. I ordered a manual from john deere online which hasnt come in yet. Thanks for any help. Mike

I've never run a 95, although I have run a 105 and many other machines, mostly MF before the IH Rotaries came out.
Anyway, to answer your question, set the concave far enough from the cylinder that a cob will pass through, but not the kernels. You want the cobs to exit the machine whole with no kernels on them. I'd start with 3/4" to 1' at the front and 5/8" to 3/4" at the rear. Run the cylinder as slow as possible and still get all the corn off the cob,,,,,I'd start at 500rpm

As for the sieves and chaffer, close them, and then throw a handful of shelled corn on them and open them up till the corn falls through, then bump them just a bit more.

Set your fan wide open. The only time I ever saw corn blown out the back was when corn had been killed by frost and the TW was around 40#.

This should get you started.................Good luck

I Throwed corn out the back on our 95, with a 434 narrow head in 200 but corn, when I bumped the variable speed , thinking dumb..... GG Wes

I agree, you can overload the sieves and throw corn out, but it takes damaged corn to blow it out with too high a fan speed.

I'm curious where you are located that you have mature corn this early. I'm in Indiana, and we are still operating off the "knee high by the fourth of July" rule.

Neighbors corn was planted in third week of April, is putting flag leaf out now. Ours that was two weeks later, flooded on twice, is almost to your pockets.
