Combines low tech straw chopper

[farmerb]

The chain will not chop straw. They are installed to discharge the straw more even from the rotor cage. Disrupters are the only thing short of a chopper that will break up more stems.

Pretty happy this year with Disrupters and rice spikes on a specialty rotor. No bean straw left over 8 inches long. Not sure how it will do in milo or wheat. It's spreading material evenly too. Chads

have been thinking about using serrated seperater bars on a standard rotor and disrupters for next year. what's your opinion on this combinationIJ how well do disrupters work on green stemmed beansIJ did you notice any change in power usage with the disruptersIJ how did you like them in generalIJ

wanted to add that i use the large wire concaves with all the wires installed and most of the time use the slotted grates. i feel the slotted grates keep more or the trash in the rotor cage and off the sieves. in corn i use the same concaves but pull out everyother wire and switch the slotted grates to keystock. any comments. brother has a 1660,std rotor and keystock grates and have had broken stems pile up over grain loss sensor. was this a flukeIJ

We use all large wire concaves with every other wire pulled, with coverplates for beans,l sorghum, and wheat. And, I think, you have to have the keystock grate for the disrupters. Also put in a Hillco fan kit I got from Gordon. I was also having trouble with chaff on the seives untill I installed it, night and day difference. As far as power, we changed rotors when we put the rice bars in so I can't really say. It's pulling pretty hard, but the beans have been extremely tough, everybodies running slow. I haven't been around anybody with disrupters on a standard rotor. Best bet is to follow the disrupter link and call the guy that sells them. So far we are real happy with the performance of this setup. Best bean sample that we have had and also best trash spreading. Chads
