Combines sunnybrook rotor

The sunnybrook solid rotor is 900 lbs (app. 3X the weight ) and has four solid discharge paddles. For 2001, there is a second generation rotor available that will have a knuckled configuration (like case ih specialty rotor, only P3 rasp bars). Bars are boronized and give great service life. visit www.sunnybrookwelding.com

I have a neighbor who had one in a R-62, he liked it in wheat because it took the bump out because of the chaff building up on the back of the rotor blades, but did not like it on tough beans it tended to rap, now, his machine is not hyperized so maybe that would have helped but after two seasons he took it back out!hope this helps!

FYI--We have a patent pending on a rotor which uses either P3 or P1 bars or a combo of each. Bars bolted on instead of welded. Drum style. Paddles, etc. eliminated. email and we'll provide info.

Hello honer,

Hello again,

I have a friend of mine who has run a Sunnybrook rotor in an N7 for several years. He likes the fact that there is no vibration caused by dirt buildup inside the bars and the heavier rotor causes more inertia which will pull him through some tough spots.

Sunnybrook mfg. builds an enclosed rotor which is heavier that the original rotor which provides more inertia for tough spots and there is NO dust buildup on the bars which means there is no vibration from the rotor being out of balance. They have just introduced a new configuration with the bars which seem to require a little less horsepower to operate. Go to www.sunnybrookwelding.com for more information.

What problems did your dealer say that they causedIJIJ We ran one for the first time this season and it worked just fine and it solved our rotor loss problems in corn. It doesn't take long to get it payed for when you can get rid of that excessive rotor loss.

Hi Guys, I'd also like to hear the reasoning behind not using one. I have heard other guys saying that they really help on the rotor loss in the corn. I'm in mostly wheat, but I would think that the basic principle would be the same. Also guys, If your looking for a new enclosed rotor check out the ones that St. Johns welding offer. I'm not trying to take anything away from sunnybrook, but St. Johns also build a pretty wicked looking rotor.I think either one would be great, but they are a little out of my reach price wise. Thanks!Darin

After running a Sunnybrook rotor for two years now, I wouldn't go back to the conventional rotor. The reduction in vibration is worth a lot over the life of the machine. Also, with the new generation II rotor, I believe it reduces the rotor loss in a lot of situations and takes a little less power.
