TROUBLESHOOTING
Increase Productivity with the Case IH AFX Rotor (cont.)
In summary, the rice and Specialty rotors are well suited for
high-yielding crops.
• They have been very successful in harvesting crops like
rice, weedy wheat and barley, milo, high-moisture corn,
edible beans, alfalfa, blue grass, safflower, and sunflower
• Crops that can be harvested well with either the standard
rotor or Specialty rotor include barley, wheat, commercial
grade corn, rye grass, and sunflowers
Some additional optional threshing and separating components
are available to address specific crop conditions.
• Interrupter bars are used to increase threshing aggressiveness
in hard-threshing small grains. The effect of Interrupter
bars is to increase threshing area with additional concave
bars
(see figure 24.1).
• Spiked rasp bars increase agitation of the crop mat as it
moves through the rotor cage. Spiked rasp bars will provide
additional separation in heavy straw and crop residue
conditions
(see figure 24.2) .
• In addition, smooth rasp bars are now available for the
Standard, Specialty and AFX rotors (see figure 24.3) . Smooth
rasp bars are recommended for use in food grade crops
such as food corn where minimal crop damage is a
requirement. Dealers can find more information in Service
Bulletin NHE SB 001 92.
Evaluating Grain Loss and Combine Performance
It’s Harvest-time, and the return on a season’s investment
in labor, land, fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticides all lies
with the combine’s ability to put every kernel in the grain
tank. A tall order, and in reality impossible. But the Axial-Flow
Combines from Case IH will get you closer to perfection than
any other combine.
Some simple steps should be taken as the combine is adjusted
to match each crop and season, to check the cutting, threshing
and separating performance of the combine, and isolate where
adjustment may be necessary to get the best possible sample
in the tank, with minimal loss.
