They Added Second Set Of Straw Spreaders To Combine
 ✖  |
The Allspach brothers, John, Ed and Don, Mt. Pulaski, Ill., wanted to do a better job of spreading crop residues than they were able to do with the factory-built spreaders on their Case/IH Axial Flow combine so they added a second set.
They built an extended frame out of scrap metal below the existing spreaders. Then they bought a new set of spreaders and long hexagon shafts from stock material carried by their Case/IH dealer.
The hexagon shafts attach to the top set of spreaders and, at the bottom, fit into bearings in the extended frame. The bottom spreaders are positioned above the support frame, held above the frame by spacers. No changes in gearing were needed to drive the extra set of spreaders.
The brothers say they now get a lot better spread of residues over about 20 ft. Makes it easier to knife in NH3 and also improves performance of their no-till planters and drills.
