Case Nutty 1660: How many acres do you run through your Case combine each year????? The average combine around here runs between 1500 and 2500 acre a year. Ours ran over 3300 each last year and are set to run more this year.
When your running a 12 row corn head or a forty foot cutting platform there is massive amount of material running through the machines. They do an amazing job if you think about the volume they are sorting and handling in a short amount of time.
YES they are harder to fine tune. Knowing how to fine tune an older machine is many times a handicap on setting the newer machines. They use much more air flow and clean with it over materially sizing with just the chaffer/sieve. One of the biggest issues I has helping fellow adjust the 9000 series combines when they came out was the guys did not run them full. Many times actually speeding UP helped much more than slowing down.
Often the material your seeing on the ground, in small grains like wheat/oats, are actually blank or non mature kernels that are lighter so they are getting blown out the back.
Now how many fellows take the time to really super tune a modern combine??? Maybe half. Many just get them "good enough".

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
