[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 5409264, member: 33598"] Yes walker combine, lexion 560, I started with the linseed settings then went from there. Biggest trouble is getting the drum tight enough to thrash all the seed out without skinning it. There is still probably a few more skinned ones in the sample than I would have liked but it’s a balancing act getting the drum gap right. I’d have to look on the combine for the exact settings but I think top sieve was about 10 bottom around 5 I can’t remember drum and fan off the top of my head but they where pretty slow and the front fan duct was shut down to 3, of course it will depend on what machine your using. I found it better keeping the sieves wider and letting some chaff through to keep the returns low but I’m going to put it over my cleaner hopefully this week, tried some over the other day and got an excellent sample out with virtually zero skinned seed or chaff in it. It cut pretty easy as long as you’ve got a half decent knive section. We got rained off but whent cutting again the following day as it dried that quickly with a good breeze and some some. Average moisture was circa 9%. [/QUOTE]
