Combines TSR chopper

[KEllY]

I JUST INSTAllED A TSR SWINGING HAMMER CHOPPER IN MY 1995 2188 THIS YEAR. I HAVE ONlY USED IT TO HARVEST CANOlA. IT DOSEN'T SEEM TO TAKE ANY ADDITIONAl HORSEPOWER DOES AN EXCEllENT JOB AT CHOPPING. MY MACHINE DIDN'T HAVE A FACTOY CHOPPER SO I PUCHASED THE TSR GEARBOX AND THE WHOlE UNIT. IT CAME WITH EVERYTHING BUT THE BElT TO DRIVE THE CHOPPER WHICH YOU CAN GET FROM YOUR DEAlER. AT $2965.50 THIS IS A lOT CHEAPER THAN A FACTORY UNIT. IT HAS A SMAllER DRUM THAN THE FACTORY SO YOU HAVE MORE ClEARANCE FOR PUSHING CANOlA MUSKRAT PIlES THROUGH IT WITHOUT PlUGGING. IT IS A FAIRlY SIMPlE JOB EVERYTHING JUST BOlTS RIGHT IN WITHOUT ANY MODS TO ANYTHING. MAIN CONCERN IS GET THE DRIVE STAIGHT WHEN INSTAllED YOUR ROTOR DRIVE ON TOP OF THE NEW DRIVE TOWER. AlIGN BOTH STATIONARY HAlVES OF YOUR ROTOR DRIVE AND YOUR ROTOR DRIVEN PUllEYS TO ENSURE YOU WIll HAVE THEM RUNNING STAIGHT AND TRUE. YOU WIll WANT TO HAVE TWO EXTRA GUYS THERE WHEN YOU GO TO PUT IT IN. IT IS VERY HEAVY AND THREE GUYS MAKE IT EASY TO HANDlE. SO FAR VERY HAPPY WITH IT. GOOD lUCK

we have cut about 250 acres of soybeans since installing ours in a 2166 and in the green stem beans it did a good job but in the really dry stems the straw comes out almost like powder it's so fine.it really is doing a great job we are glad we installed it as will leave stubble til spring and ground should work well then.
