East Central Ia
Thanks for the reply.

I have always gone by the rule that if the cobs are all busted up randomly that rotor speed is to high, and if the cobs are busted more lengthwise thats from the concaves being to tight.

Been messing with settings a lot and have decided it sucks combining that wet of corn! We took the end rows off one field, about 12.5acs and got 3 truck loads... just enough to keep the piggies from starving for another week. The combine said ave moisture was 26.6% but it hasn't been calibrated in corn yet and I think it was closer to 28%. I saw anywhere from 22%-35% while combining. This is going to be a very slow year picking corn. This is 3 weeks behind for us. We are normally combining 24-25% or so 104 day corn mid September for hog feed.

Gonna have beans done here in 2-3 days if we don't get rained on... then we are gonna have to wait a week for corn to dry down more. Gonna wish we had a bigger dryer this year.
