[QUOTE="Jsmith2211, post: 7674123, member: 147572"] We had another go today while it was sunny, grain measuring at 17.2% but could bite through it... Still leaving a little on the heads after adjusting the concave and putting the deawning plates in, although the grain sample was a lot better for using the deawners - and there was a lot less on the straw for adjusting the concave up. the only losses we are getting is from it not threshing out of the heads, there doesnt seem to be any loss from the seives or over the walkers (seives still too far open so getting straw into the bottom sieve, needs adjusting but thats a problem to sort after the grain is all off of the straw. we did notice that the concave is right at the end of its adjustment at the front and not adjusted right, one side is loose and the other looks bent, as if a stone had gone through and bent something. Father reckons that the barley just isnt quite fit yet, and we are starting to doubt that the moisture meter is actually reading the correct moisture from the grain, as i said, 17.2% and can bite through it. I think we'll give it a week then try it again on a nice hot day when the straw is dry as well. everything else seems to be working as it should (except the AC!) and it managed well with beans. Should be fine so long as the barley is very ripe. Still, id have thought a few days off of being august barley should be fit by now... I expect if the combine was brand new it would thresh it fine, but that concave adjustment definitely doesnt look right to me, the back is fine now and adjusted how it should be. We did have the moisture meter calibrated a few years ago, and it is a good quality one. [/QUOTE]
