Combines encloed rotors

ok I misspelled enclosed but it got your attention didn't it IJIJIJIJ lOl really should use my glasses more. Bob

Well, us colonials down under in Oz always did have trouble understanding the way you yanks butchered the Queen's English!

Bob, not sure what to tell you on this subject since you harvest milo. After running Bison and CDF in corn wheat and soybeans for a couple years I like both but probably lean towards the Bison some because it really seems to walk through crops with little effort, but if you go that route make sure its all set up the way its supposed to be. Have never ran milo through either set up and that milo is a different animal when it has green leaves. I will let Dan answer that question.

We appreciate youse guys tolerances. I am sure the Dr.s , professors, and other high society, high profile settlers who founded your great country held manditory public training courses in 'Tolerance 101'! !

let you guys in on a secret! the POM's (English) came out with 11 Ships to settle Australia! Seven of them were full of lawyers and Politicians! the other four Ships had the Convicts in them! the Ratio of Bureaucrats to workers hasn't changed! Rolf (Might be even worse after Saturday, if we have a change of government with national elections this weekend!!) Bison is to be installed today in our R62, 21mm of rain in the last 24 hours, so were got a couple of days before we get to use it in lentils! like Silver shoes said, make sure they setup it up spot on before you have it installed! Hope to see and compare how a CDF goes in a neighbor's R62 in lentils as well!

Have you run these cylinders side by side in the same fieldIJ How does approximate cost compare between themIJ Do you set up the cage the same for bothIJ Thanks for sharing your experiences! Gamaman

I switched out my gleaner rotor for a Sunnybrook Gen I rotor back in about 96. It was an improvement as it didnt get out of balance and had more inertia for tough slugs. I stayed with the gleaner rotor when I traded to newer R72 in 2000. I switched back to a Gen II Sunnybrook in 2002 as I had missed the enclosed rotor. This year as my Sunny bars were in need of replacing and I decided to switch to the new Bison rotor. Now as my main crop is irrigated spring wheat of witch some varieties can be tough to thrash I need all the thrashing ability I can get in the thrashing section. The Bison has only four thrashing units per turn and the units or modules are completely different than a rasp bar. I dont think they are the right tool for my hard thrashing wheat. Anyway I had more white caps in my grain sample than I did with the eight rasp bar Sunnybrook. Also had more rotor loss as I think some wheat was being thrashed but not separated latter down the rotor. All the thrashing and most of the separating needs to be done right on the concave. The Bison did move wet or green slugs out the machine very nicely with out the usual rumble. I do like the idea of pegs or sweeps to fluff and redistribute the material in the separating section. In my malting barley and canola thrashing was not a problem and I thought the Bison did as good as the Sunny on separation and better on wet straw put through. I sure do want to hear what others in different areas and with different crops have to say!!!

here on the upside stateside, 51% of the work force works directly or indirectly for the GOVT. we ran a CDF, modified std 8 bar cyl, and the Bison pretty much side by side in 3 R72's. We had a terrible drought so the comparison was not what we wanted it to be. However - We will post our results_opinions a little later.

We will look forward to hearing your opinion on their performance. What crops did you run them inIJ

has anyone used or know somebody that has used this enclosed rotorIJ I will ad link
