Getting docked for a poor sample?
Cracked kernels, splits, and trash in the tank cost you grade ( and real money), at the elevator. The fix starts at the rotor: thresh clean without beating up your grain.
Sound familiar?
- Cracked kernels, split beans, or peeled canola showing up in the tank
- Getting downgraded or docked at the elevator
- Too much chaff and trash mixed in with clean grain
- Sample quality swings every time you change crops or conditions

We have been using the SherGrain Drop Pan for a couple of years. We’ve been able to get our field loss down to 1/3 bu /acre, and the system is easy to operate, takes about 15 minutes to set up and sort out the beans in the pan. Haven’t used it on corn or small grain.

Common Questions
Why is my combine cracking grain?
Usually over-aggressive threshing: rotor speed too high or concave clearance too tight for the crop. Even, well-matched threshing cracks far less grain than forcing material through a uniform setup.
How do I get a cleaner grain sample?
Match your threshing to the crop and verify it with a drop pan instead of eyeballing the tank. Concaves that thresh evenly across conditions hold sample quality without constant readjustment.
What causes trash in my sample?
Uneven crop flow and threshing that overloads the cleaning system. Steadier, more even threshing keeps chaff out of the clean grain.
