New Holland Dynamic Feed Roller

[Bumble Bee]

I would like to hear users opinions on the Dynamic Feed Roller on CR combines.
How does it compare to the APS system with regards larger stones?

Being contractors we have a few customers who aren't to fussy about picking stones. I'm just a bit worried that the DFR will sustain damage should a larger stone reach it.

TIA

We are running a CR9.80 DFR from a CR9090 APS previously, the DFR is outstanding, improving output with better feeding into the rotor on all cereals, not much difference in OSR.
We have a lot of flint that is not kind to combines and have found the DFR to stop pretty much all stones, the exception being when you bulldoze. APS was a pain and only as good as to how sensitive you have it set.
My advice , go with DFR.

Thanks for the reply.
I now have my name on a 9.80 with DFR.

You won't be disappointed last year I could achieve average outputs of 50 tonnes/hr with spot rates of 72 tonnes/hr in 9.75 tonne/ha wheat crops.
