Combines R 52 newbie

Unless thats a pair , too high, less than $100_bar on chrome 3_4" forward bars oem 71371520 get the lowen or Agco extended bar kit_cut paddles for the discharge side. See Hypermods, click on that, and look at 'the' setup for the R52 cylinder. We buy them now, used to make the setup. There are also companies that will take 1_2 bars weld up, balance and cut out every other bar for 1" spacing - if all you do is soybeans, this yields tremendous capacity.

and I forgot -if your cylinder bars are worn - so will be the helicals - by all means replace them as well.

So should I put in all 3_4" bars for soybeansIJ And put forward bars for the reverse onesIJ John

I set mine up very similar to the one found on 'hyper mods' on the left there. I run with two bars out in the center, with chopper blades (disrupters) .

Ok how do I remove the rotorIJ Is it in the service book that I can have the dealer fax meIJ Or is there a proven easier wayIJ John

let down the lH sheetmetal, one bolt and two snap latches on most. Remove the bolts on the center brg in stop sign and the ring of bolts around the octagon end plate. Place a support under the cylinder and remove the end sheet. Using a fork lift or bucket with extentions place a chain around the top and support under the bottom and tilt back and remove. Some leave the brg on the cylinder and insert froks in the bottom inspection rectangle, tilt, raise and remove the cylinder and end plate together. After you have done one, it is an approx 30 min job for one man. Takes two people to put back in as one has to spline the coupler.

12 minutes is what my mechanic says to remove with a forklift and two guys... Anyone else do it in 12 hoursIJ

2 guys and a fork lift.....1 hour and we did not know what we where doing. Had the Deere mechanic as n2 person and he marveled at how fast it was and how easy it will be to change bars....kind of made me smile. Thanks John
