After 4-5 years of debating myself - the two zero bars are off! Flighting has also been extended 150mm so as to move material from going around the back of the cone/ramp area - & onto into the concaves. Wear plate mounting area has been hard faced as well. |

Rod are these the bars that prematurely wear out part of the rotor intake cone?

Looks good Rod, hopefully some decent crop for you to test it this season

Yeah ..... I think it’ll work with no issues. Going to add a few more 10° bars over #3 to reduce rotor loss in big yield/straw barley. We might even have some of those this year ...... if it rains in spring!

“H” frame has had the feed ramp lifted by 6mm & LHS front section replaced - both with bissalloy. |

Interesting. I've not noticed the same wear on the transition cone on my small tube rotors.

The cone & cage are chrome moly in this machine & there is virtually no wear on them after 38,000 tonne. Two friends have same 8240’s with similar throughput ..... but standard cone & cage. They need repairs now & new cones after this harvest.  |

No one could ever accuse you of half doing things Rod.  |

OK ...... still don’t understand why Case hasn’t addressed this area by now. Plenty of owners & even dealerships mechanics recognise this is area is a problem waiting to happen ...... but no changes from engineering in Case. Why not?
