Kit Lets You Adjust Case-IH Concaves On-The-Go

Kit Lets You Adjust Case-IH Concaves On-The-Go COMBINES Accessories 23-3-12 You can adjust the concave on-the-go on your older Case-IH Axial-Flow combine with this new kit that helps prevent over or under-threshing grain. "The new 2188's and 2388's have an electronic concave adjustment but older machines must be adjusted manually," says Don Sizer of Farm Shop Agricultural Innovations, manufacturer. "Our kit provides on-the-go mechanical adjustment for Axial Flows from the late 1970's through 1993's 2188's. You have to manually adjust the concaves on those models several times a day in some crops, which is extremely time-consuming." The kit contains all the hardware needed to reposition the ratchet that raises and lowers the concave. The ratchet is moved from underneath the hopper up to the cab next to your left arm. The heart of the system is a 2-ft. long, 3/4 in. dia. steel shaft that mounts under the cab and connects to the ratchet. It's fitted on each end with a 12-tooth sprocket that drives a #40 roller chain that drives the worm gears used to adjust the concave. The kit can be installed by two men in about three hours, Sizer says. Installation requires some drilling. Sells for $235 (U.S.).
