John Deere S690i Rape settings

[Daniel king]

Hi just wondered if any body had any pointers on setting for Rape , can’t get a good sample to much half pod and pod ends in the sample , I’m currently set up like this
Straw accelerator in low speed
Wind at 700
Rotor 700
Concave 30
Chafer 14
Sieve 5
Have I got the rotor going too fast as it’s in high speed not low !!!! The rape is fit but has green stalks !! Been sprayed 17 days now
Thanks

It has been a fair while since I drove one, so it all a bit fuzzy. Defiantly ran the accelerator in low speed, can’t remember rota speed or gear. But do remember generally running the concave at 36.
normally the sample was good but always did suffer with putting a lot of half pods in the tank as the combine was not full ( while turning on headlands)

I found best sample in rape when we ran 700 fan and top and bottom sieve on 7 not on JD but Axial flow.

Keeps the trash off the bottom sieve which is overloading the returns and creating even more trash to come round again.
