Combines Stainless steel Accelerator rollers

By the stainless steel accelerator rolls, I assume that you are refering to the folded full roller length, bolt on sections. We could probably sell you ours which, if they weren't stainless, would now be rusting in the back of the shed! I had a post some time ago on these. We used them for two seasons and then took them out. They did not seem to work as well as the rubber AGCO ones. We put this down to being 3mm sheet, they left very large gaps around and between the blades and did not accelerate the grain sufficiently which is essential if the Gleaner accelerator roll _ fan _ sieve system is going to work as designed. They acted somewhat similar to moderately worn rubber sections. They were also about 3mms short on each fold or leg even though they measured the same diameter as the rubber sections. This effect was caused by the thiness of the 3mm thick blade section compared to the about the 20 or 25mm wide flat top of the rubber sections. We harvest a lot of lentils and they definitely damaged and split a lot more lentils than the rubber sections. We have tried some plastic covered sections but they wore out in less than a season so it was back to the genuine rubber covered article, take a deep breath, wince, groan and pay up!

Thanks ROM, You confirmed what I thought. I did wonder how they would perform with the gap being larger than the rubber ones. I guess I'll have to look at putting some genuine ones in. I hope the season is looking promising where you are. Here in Mid North SA things have started well but we are really starting to look to the skies for more rain. We definately do not want another year like last year. Cheers Nick
