I know it's a little early to start worrying about this (probably 2 1/2 months from planting) but I'd like to get all my ducks in a row for threshing the crop with my R50. This would be the first time for me with this combine in that crop. Other times I'd used my M2.
I understood when I bought it that it had the dry bean package installed in the cage, which I guess is the chrome steep helicals?
Do I need to change any other things in order to handle the crop gently? These are black turtle beans and splits are a very bad thing. I'm concerned with dry conditions.
I'm guessing that the book settings are a place to start for concave clearance, cylinder speed and wind.
I'm going to clip them, and I have SCH guards and knife to cut as close as possible to the ground.
Tbran, NDDan, anybody that's been down this road before, any pointers or solid advice would sure be appreciated!
Many Thanks!
