00:00 Hey y'all This's Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag and here we go. Let's talk about these concaves. 00:04 You know, we've been playing with these concaves at Brian and Eson, but we've been trying to, 00:09 trying to tweak these things up. Always looking for horsepower. We're always looking for better flow. 00:13 We're always looking for more speed and and that's what these guys just keep improving 'em. So we've had to xpr twos in these machines. 00:20 We have three John Deere machines running, one with OEMs in them, one with XPR twos in them. And this one has XPR threes in them. 00:27 And Brown's like, Chad, why don't you just put another set of X Ps in the other machine 00:30 and said, no, Brian, I wanna keep that OEM here where we know what we're doing. We're always comparing back to it. 00:35 So don't think that we're just putting these concaves in all these machines. We're not testing 'em 'cause we just keep testing on it. 00:41 And what that guide us is to the XPR threes. So you might wanna look at that front concave. I ain't gonna give all their secrets away. 00:48 They gonna want y'all to come see 'em on it. The front concave is the key. They might have put some more gap in it, 00:53 which allows more horsepower. They might have put some more gap in it, which also allows better grain quality. 00:59 It's gonna let that grain flow and it's going to do a better job. Right There might have pitched the ball angle. 01:04 So look, I give you some hints, that's all I'm gonna give you. The first concave is the key to it. 01:09 And the next thing is, you know, is now they prided their self on the fact that the SV XP twos, you didn't change concaves anymore. 01:17 You know, they would send them with covers and you put covers in, but you wouldn't change 'em. And that's what really sold us on 'em, 01:23 not putting these things in and out for wheat or beans or corn, you know, and not making these changes with these, they don't even send covers anymore. 01:30 So get ready. You think you like the other ones once you put'em in. That's for the life of that machine, you know, in essence. 01:36 But that's what the key was. They wanted the folks not have to put a cover in, be a all round, versatile, concave. 01:42 And that's what they succeeded on. I can't wait to put this thing in the cornfield. Thank you.
