Combines Bullet Rotor Pics

Yep. Case made a big deal on the AFX rotor when NH has been using that style since the begining. Makes me wonder if the patent ran out on the impeller on the front since Case and NH use it now. Or it could be since they are one company now, the engineers incorporated the NH design into the Axial Flow.

I am pretty sure that the same engineer or engineers were involved in the initial design of both the IH Axial flow and the NH Twin Rotor and there were some patent issues between NH and IH. Maybe that is what caused the goofy "elephant ears" to be used on the front of the AF rotor for so many years. The White_Massey_Massey Ferguson rotary has always used a auger front on their rotor, and a feeder beater similar to the STS I might add.

If you want to get techinical Massey had a impeller along with and auger style intake on their rotor way back in the 80's.

magnum surely your not suggesting massey has had the best rotor on the market all alongIJIJIJ lol lol why mother deere would NEVER lower herself low enough to copy technology massey came up with would sheIJIJIJ

Isnt it ironic how the White_Massey feed beater, auger front rotor is so similair to the STS design. That just makes me chuckle everytime I look at it. Maybe WFE should have painted the White combines Oliver green, course I guess its still the wrong shade of green for the deere boys. I dont really mean to knock deere, at least they know how to redesign a product a little to make it there own. Innovation such an ironic word

Maybe AFX stands for Axial Flow eXtremeIJ Just a thought.
