Combines afx rotor

[shellman]

If he was running in wheat he probably would not see any significant difference unless he was dealing with green straw or dam conditions. The tougher the crop conditions the better the AFX rotor performs above the previous specialty rotor. To my knowlege there is no difference in the cone or the vanes.

I've had dealers quote me about $6000 to swap the axles without labor. I had another guy tell me that it could be done for about $3500, but I didn't find anyone willing to do it for that. My guess is that $4000-4500 would be fair if the 4WD unit had a reasonable number of hours on it, say less than 2000. Just my guess....

It would be a whole lot cheaper to put the AFX rotor in your 1688 than trade to a 2388 AFX!!! local dealer has an AFX sitting on the lot. $4500 for the rotor plus adding heavy duty vanes or changing the transition cone. If you do this work yourself I would think you could get it done for under $6500. Chads

Might need to change the drive and driven pulleys for the rotor. On the 2388 they are larger. It's the same old question, trade up or fix. The way prices are going fix seems to be the answer.

I am pretty sure there is an aftermarket kit available from Stewart Steel, Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

A complete AFX rotor goes for about $6K. last year they ran a special for $5500. I'm not sure what you mean by chrome sieves. Why did they take the AFX rotor outIJ

 

[likesmxbutdrives8420]

they took the rotor out because they decided they didn't want to have a red machine, they were tryin out 2 2388's and they didn't like them but had to keep the afx. Not sure what the chrome sieves are either would the afx be worth $4,000IJIJ one more question, has anyone heard of "specialty" afx. can't recall the name, A and l maybe

The AFX is basically a specialty rotor with NH style auger up front to replace the IH impellers. They may have switched the location and number of bars, but it's quite similar to the Specialty configuration. We had a Standard rotor that we wanted to swap out, and I had a pretty tough time deciding between the Specialty, the AFX and the St. John rotor. Finally I decided to go with the St. John in a effort to get the best performance in our crops. I was more money than the Specialty and less than the AFX. I doubt I get a chance to run beside an AFX next year, but we have a specialty so that will be easy. I'll know more next summer! Anybody need a Standard rotor that is ready to just drop into an 88 machineIJ As for an AFX for $4000, that seems pretty reasonable. $3500 would probably seal the deal for me if I were in the market.
