Combines x clusive rotor

What is the x-clusive rotorIJ Have a webb address one can see it atIJ

I think our northern European friend is referring to the new AFX rotor. Which is reported to be much better in damp tough grain situations. Check down the page for discussions on the new AFX rotor.

The EXclusive rotor is also the AFX, reports in the UK say that it is between 10-25% moe efficient than the old speciality rotor fitted to european combines. The big difference with the new rotor is in tough conditions a smoother feed and the replacement of the impeller or elephent ears with the auger syle feed reduces horsepower demand in tough conditions.

Yes I haw reed the reports but still I wont to here a word from some one who has try it. The mine problems with the old 2388 in my neighborhood: It does maces something like rope out of dump straw (it maybe a problem of setup) Fuel consumption, AF2388 uses almost 7l_t in malt barley. CT5080 20 and TX68+ 24 does it with 3.5l 3.7l_t in wheat it maybe as low as 3 l_t. But those monsters are very aggressive to the grain.

How is your 2388 setup nowIJ Do you have a specialty rotorIJ Using a specialty rotor and rice spikes would help wind the tough straw through the rotor cage.

Yes we haw specialty rotor. It seems like a good idea to use rice spikes, but how about grain quality. What we do now we are using CT 5080 for all crops and AF 2388 only for malt barley, corn and small grain seeds. My idea is to haw one big combine instead of two. It is worth it to haw one AF if you run 4 or 5 combines but in our situation we need something mo universal. This is why I'm interested in AFX8010.

another way to go is with a rotor from st john welding. email terry at sjwelding@stjohnks.net

We installed a AFX rotor in our 1680 last fall, also neighbour across the road has one in a 2188. We combined a heavy crop of wheat with lots of straw last fall, canola, edible beans, soybeans and corn. Neighbours also did rye and oats. We both found there was no more rumble noises, it feeds even and you can load the combine to a nice working level and it stays there. We turned up the HP some but could use more and still make a nice job. Viny crops fed great, the only thing was that we had a dry harvest so not sure as to damp straw but green soybeans didn't show any problems. As to the stewart rotor ears, I saw a set on a rotor the other day, the augur part is only the same diameter as the rotor barrel so is not like the IH rotor auger but maybe it still will work. I had a speacility rotor before with rice spikes on the back half but was still no good in tough vine crops or heavy swaths of damp straw. If you would like any more information E mail me. I live in Southern Manitoba, Canada.
