Glenn, aren't the cages supposed to be chromed from the factory or did they stop doing that? My old R7 is but its getting enough hours on it i need to find another one.
Yeah, but Glenn runs sandpaper through his combine to help thresh his crops, it really eats the chrome up LOL
Factory chrome is good enough in the corn belt, but Glenn is in Washington, and has some volcanic soils that apparently are VERY abrasive, and it eats up the factory chrome. He has a better chrome job done after season one...it's very interesting to me.
I have seen corn, soybean, wheat machines at 4000 separator hours with the factory cages, so in a large majority of cases, factory parts are very adequate
