Well your Father's combine would lose 2-3% when set perfectly. So on a 40 bushel yield in wheat that would be around one bushel lost. Toady's combines lose about the same when set correctly. The difference is the yield. 70-80 bushel wheat yield that makes the loss around 2 bushels per acre. That is enough you will see it in the right weather. Meaning rains and warm to sprout everything.
In corn it is even more dramatic because the average yield has doubled in the last 30 years. So 120 bushel corn yield would be 3-4 bushels per acre. 250 bushel yield would be 7-8 bushels per acre.

Corn shelled on Nov. would not have much volunteer regrowth because of it being too cold to grow. Corn harvested in Sept. can easily have warmth enough to sprout.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
