Combines Chaff spreaders for R 75

Fold out auger and lower upper shield down and remove the nuts that are on the square cover. I have a small bottle jack that I put in the hole to support the rotor and remove the other nuts that go around the octagon shaped cover. Next I Take the fork lift and slide the forks together about 3 inches apart and slide in between the bars on the rotor on the bottom side. Then I wrap a chain around the bearing housing and the forks like a triangle. Then tilt the forks back to put tention on the chain and back up a little bit to be sure the other end came off the gear box. Then make sure that the forks have the rotor supported totally and back it out. Good luck and be safe. It is a really simple design. I pull ours out every year just to check the rotor over and to check the gear box splines and coupler.

Sorry I meant to reply to the post on rotors down below

Have you considered longer shoe tail boards finsIJ I've seen a number of these and they are maintanance free. I have not been around any of the hydralic driven options. let me know and I'll get you a couple pictures of the long fins. I believe Precision Farm Parts and the dealer in Mandan ND have these.

Yes I have seen them. looks to me like these long shoe machines have a little interference issue with the straw spreader. Think the long fins have a chance at getting an even spread for 35 ft headIJ

We have our own homemade versions, and yes there is some interfearance with the spinner, we have 2 long ones on left side, 2 factory ones in middle one each way and only one long one on right side and one 3_4 length on right side due to spinner, we made new brackets to lower the tail board further to direct below the spinner but not to low to catch the shoe. This cathes 99% of the chaff and we spread on a calm day with a 30' head into the standing crop on both sides. Have not seen the other fins, ours are fairly long and have a bottom angle on them for stiffness and also helps hold the chaff on the fin with the air.
