Actually the way to drive a rotary is to keep 'er lit ! They thresh best when they are run at high loading, just below max, but don't block it up whatever you do, they are horrible to unblock and it takes forever.

I remember the class man setting up a walker machine for us and saying that you drove a rotary as hard the engine would allow. Probably over simplifying but you get the idea.

Wide concave, rotors as slow as possible and as much fan speed as possible. Plus a bigger header as in average wheat or spring barley you will be going at some forward speed, that combine should have come with a 9m header. Great output and combine for its transport width though!!!

We run one. Good combines drive it like you stole it do behave. They produce a better sample when loaded granted but not to the brink they are on the edge to block. 12 tonne/ha crop of wheat currently doing 4-5 k.
