Farmers Fine-Tune Rock Hard Concaves
 |
In late November, the company announced new No-Wire Concaves. They are designed to be universal concaves, fitting all crops, but built with corn, soybean and rice customers in mind.
“Our early adopters report the new design can’t be beaten by regular wire concaves,” says Russel Wildfong, Wildfong Enterprises. “Instead of wires, the concave bars have a ledge that holds up pods, cobs and heads of wheat long enough to get threshed out in front of the crossbars.”
He adds that the ledges are laid back to help prevent chewing up corncobs and straw, which can overload the shoe, causing loss over the chaffer.
“The 1-in. opening between the bars and the ledges practically eliminates rotor loss,” says Wildfong.
