Kit Stops Green Stem Beans From Roping
"It's like a poor man's straw chopper. It's easy to install and the add-on really works," says Ranson, Ill., farmer Ray Mullen about a new three-piece kit for Case-IH Axial Flow combines that stops green stemmed soybeans from "roping" by making the combine's rotors more aggressive.
"The Disrupter kit keeps material flowing through Axial Flow combines equipped with either a standard or specialty rotor so they don't leave `ropes' of green stems in the field," says Don Estes, manufacturer. "You can't even tell where a combine has been in the field because residue is spread so evenly behind it."
The kit consists primarily of a set of nine 3/4-in. thick hardfaced steel lugs that bolt to the grate section of the rotor. It also includes a set of cylinder bars with every other tooth removed and a set of scalloped rotor bars, both of which help feed straw through the combine.
Installation takes about a half hour. The added parts can be detached quickly when you switch from soybeans to corn.
Fits all Case-IH Axial Flow combines. Complete package (lugs are offered separately) sells for $650, 1440 and 1460; $800, 80 series.
