Small oversights in your combine setup can quietly rob yield, efficiency, and profitability during wheat harvest. 

Kondex Market & Product Strategy Manager Andy Theisen walks through five of the most common – and costly – combine oversights seen in the field today.

From cutting performance at the header to threshing efficiency, shoe load balance, cleaning system setup, and residue management, this session will break down how each stage of the combine impacts the next. 

Learn why a combine should be viewed as a complete flow system – and how problems at the back of the machine often originate at the front. Through practical, real-world insights, you’ll discover how small adjustments (some taking just minutes) can lead to cleaner grain samples, reduced losses, improved fuel efficiency, and better overall harvest performance.

You Will Learn: 

  • How to identify and correct the 5 most common combine oversights that reduce harvest performance
  • Why cutting performance and crop flow at the header set the foundation for the entire machine
  • How to balance threshing aggressiveness vs. grain loss and damage for optimal results
  • Simple adjustments (some in as little as 5 minutes) that improve shoe load balance and cleaning efficiency
  • The critical role of residue management in setting up next year’s crop – especially in no-till systems

Whether you operate no-till, strip-till, or conventional systems, this webinar will help you fine-tune your combine setup to maximize productivity and set the stage for a successful harvest.
