Crawfordsville, Arkansas | You must have never had a rotor choke up then? Taking 2 hours to remove shields, drop concaves and have 2 or 3 guys with needlenose pliers pulling crop out of a rotor? A reversible rotor fixes all of that. I can cram more crop through my Massey with little to no fear that I'm gonna choke it up and waste a few hours getting it unplugged.
I've got a neighbor with a 2188, now a 7010. With his 2188 in rice if he choked up he told me it takes him and one other man over an hour to get it back running. Another neighbor has STS's. I've seen them head to the barn choked up and 2 days later it was finally back running. One other neighbor further to the west of me choked his 9760 STS and just took it to JD store and let them unchoke it. Another guy that rents a farm from my great uncle runs three 9770's and 25 foot drapers. He pushes his machines to the limits and beyond and more than a handful of times I've seen the JD dealers trucks surround his machines because it was choked up with damp down rice. Now I know rice is foreign to 99% of the guys on this forum but having a reversible rotor is just another tool to help get the crop out. If a reversible rotor isn't so great, then why is it now available on some of the CaseIH machines? Deere will come out with one in a year or maybe a couple of years and everyone will think they invented it and that its the greatest thing ever. Meanwhile lowly Massey and Agco will have had it since the mid 90's. | |
