"PosiFeed Roller" Improves Feeder Chain Drum COMBINES Accessories 28-6-43 "It feeds the crop in more smoothly without overloading the machine, which results in a more consistent feed," says Rob Heinrichs, Loewen Mfg., about the company's new PosiFeed roller.
The new drum simply bolts on in place of the combine's original feeder drum at the front part of the feederhouse. The original drum consists of a steel cylinder with a completely round shape. However, on the PosiFeed roller, part of the drum has been cut away, leaving openings so the crop can feed through more easily. Also, the drum has raised edges which are designed to do a better job of pushing material back into the feeder chain.
"It was designed in Australia and we're now manufacturing it. We've tested it in small grains, corn, and soybeans and found that it works great in all crops," says Heinrichs.
Models are available for Case-IH, Deere, Gleaner, and New Holland combine models.
