We recently had the opportunity to put the Bushel Plus O-Grate Concave to the test in a X9 1100 side by side comparison, and we were thoroughly impressed with its performance across both soybeans and corn.
Soybeans:
The O-Grates delivered exactly as promised! The cleaner sample and reduced loss at an increased ground speeds were noticeable immediately. Not only did it handle the beans efficiently, but the lower level of cracks in the beans was a key improvement that stood out.
Corn:
When harvesting corn, the O-Grates again exceeded expectations. We saw a cleaner sample with higher ground speeds, and the reduction in both loss and fuel consumption were significant advantage. The O-Grates performance helped us increase productivity without sacrificing quality, and we were able to cover more ground with less fuel.
Side-by-Side Comparison with X9 1100:
We performed direct side-by-side comparisons using a 50’ head for soybeans and an 18R20” chopping head for corn. In both cases, the O-Grate offered superior results in terms of sample cleanliness, efficiency, and operational costs!
We experienced cleaner a sample, less loss at higher ground speed, and less cracks with less fuel consumption.
