KX7 concaves are delivering a radical improvement over traditional concaves. With its different look and design, we're reviewing how to best configure the concaves to different crops.
Factor Performance in Year-End Inspection Decisions
With harvest finished for many and near completion for others, farmers are beginning to inspect their combines to ensure they are ready for next year.

5 Reasons to NOT Compromise with All-Crop Concaves
We’ve all heard the adage, “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” As farmers ourselves, this saying comes to mind whenever someone shares their experience with all-crop concaves.
Combating Rotor Loss
Posted in KX7 News
When you think about all the work that goes into nurturing your crops up to the point of harvest – from preparing the soil, selecting seeds, planting, and fertilizing to the countless hours spent monitoring the weather – it’s safe to say we spend most of our season prepping for the most fun (and shortest) part: harvest.
You Can’t Control the Weather, But…
2019 was a whirl of mixed weather. It started under water, got incredibly hot, and we’re now finally feeling comfortable outside again… at least for the time being.

Dew You Dare?
Farmers are known to be early risers, but when it comes to harvesting corn or soybeans, even the early birds have traditionally had a limiting factor on getting in their fields.
Prevent the Plugging Predicament
How often have you looked at your combine's concaves after (or mid) harvesting and saw that they were plugged - much like the top view in the image?
What KX7 Settings do I Use?
We are often asked about what settings to use with our KX7 concaves, and we always recommend starting with what’s outlined in your combine’s owner’s manual.
