The TX is Belgium built. It uses a normal rasp bar cylinder, followed by a stripper beater, followed by a lugged "rotary separator", then the straw is discharged onto the strawwalkers. The TX has basicaaly the same self leveling separator as the newer CR and CX models do. The 3 cylinder threshing separating system worksvery much similar to the Claas lexion except the lexion has a lugged cyl ahead of the rasp bar cyl instead of just before the walkers. Claas's idea is to begin threashing and comb out slugs before the main cylinder while NH TX idea is to spin separate much of the grain which is already threshed loose before the crop hits the strawwalkers. The TR is the NA built "twin rotor" machine. It uses 2 side by side counter-revolving rotors. The main complaint about the TR machines was that the separator had much less capacity than the rotor threshing system did. Operators would run too fast causing separator losses over the shoe. This was especially true of operators who had used cylinder machines before. In a cylindr machine you are limited by the threshing capacity. In damp crops or if run to fast you slug the cylinder. In normal dry field conditions the TR rotor threshing system is nearly impossible to slug no matter how fast you push the ground speed. Guys used to the cyl machines will just keep pushing the speed up then they throw grain over the shoe. The newer models the CR and CX use threshing systems like their predecessors the TR and TX, but are both built around the selfleveling shoe chassis design of the TX combine.
