Subject: RE: Shelbourne stripper head pros/cons


SW KS, near Dodge City
I love ours. Our farm will never be without them. The newer series CX/CVS are light years ahead of the original series that came out. We had both. Get a CVS if you can, if not the CX series is very good also. Only difference is that the CVS will adjust stripping rotor speed from the cab on the go. As to the loss, well, it all depends on the operator. Running a stripper head is different than running a straight head. If you run it right, there won't be any more loss than w/ a conventional. We have ours on an R62, and I think it gives us about 15-20% more capacity, at least. Cutting hailed on 55 bu wheat (head on the ground to get it all) we were running 4.5-5 mph w/ a 32' head.

I'm a big proponent of them if you can't tell.
