The bottom sieve on my old JD 1085 has never been that special and now it’s nearly worn out I was wondering if there are better aftermarket replacements.
The problem with the old sieve is that by the time you have opened it up to cope with a reasonable flow it is no longer rows of holes but just a series of horizontal slots full width like a plain Louvre which lets everything through. It’s as if the fingers aren’t long enough.
I had thought of round hole sieves instead, tried them in OSR but found the original sieve better.
Now in beans same old problem. Close the sieve, too many returns. Open the sieve a tiny bit and pods can through the gaps. It looks like they need longer fingers to my non expert mind. Just wondered what others thought.
