—Lancaster Farming. Satnrday. July 8.1978 56 New Holland Combine Is Design Breakthroug A new twin rotor combine featuring a major design break-through in threshing technique that reduces crop damage and leases while improving harvesting speed and capacity has been announced by Sperry New Holland. The twin rotor combine, the Model TR-70, is in limited production as an addition to the Sperry New Holland combine product line for the current harvesting season, with expanded production scheduled for 1976. The twin rotor concept is a major breakthrough in combine design, according' to Donald A. Donovan, product manager. Extensive testing on the TB-70 in a variety of crops has shown that the twin rotor concept offers im provements in the quality of grain delivered to the grain tank, speed in harvesting and total harvesting capacity, Donovan says. In addition, it is more SPER3V=y=I\EW HOLLAND, GRINDER-MIXERS Built-in durability and convenience add to efficiency. ?Get the job done fast! Ideal for farmers who want to add baled hay or straw to the ration. Power bale feeder available to reduce time and manual effort required to feed these bales into the grinder mixer. • 21-inch mill! • 120-bushel capacity! • Special hopper (standard) for adding grain into the ration! • Table swings vertical for transport! • Engage and disengage feed table conveyor from either side of housing! The “357" grinder-mixer can also be equipped with • Loading auger • Optional hydraulic drive A.B.C. Groff, Inc. 110 S Railroad Ave New Holland 354-4191 L. H.

The internal crop separation mechanism of the TR-70 is totally different. It does not contain the customary cylinder, concave and straw walkers. Instead the TR-70 has twin 17-inch diameter threshing and separating rotors in side-by side relationship. These 86- inch-long rotors extend lengthwise through the combine. The twin rotors, spinning in opposite directions, move the crop in a spiraling motion against the threshing grates around the front end of the rotor tubes. This Turbo-Thresh action on the crop offers two im portant advantages, Donovan said. First, the crop is threshed by a flailing action and separated by centrifugal force, resulting in con siderably less damaged grain. Roy A. Brubaker 700 Woodcrest Ave Lititz Pa 626-7766 C. E.

Ag Soles Silverdale PA 18962 215-257-5136 Second, because the crop is moved rearward in a spiral motion, the crop passes the threshing grates several times instead of just once, as In the case with the .usual cylinder and concave. In addition, any un threshed grain is augered to the front of the twin rotor tubes for a second pass through the machine. The "TR-70” is powered by either a Ford 361 C.I.D. gas or a 636 C.I.D. Caterpillar diesel engine. An 80-gallon fuel tank is standard equipment. The operator’s platform is centrally located to provide good control of the combine and visibility of the crop and header. The cab has no corner posts to interfere with operator visibility. The pressurized cab is standard equipment and offers added operator comfort. A heater and air conditioner are available as optional equipment, as well as an AM-FM radio and console mounted ash tray and lighter. Also available is a factory installed option that con tinuously monitors many functions of the TR-70. This monitoring system immediately alerts the operator that an operational problem is developing and minimizes possible damage and downtime that might result if the problem is left unchecked. When all monitored func tions are operating properly, the system’s “normal” in dicator will glow green. In the event of a malfunction of any monitored area, a warning light will- flash. Simultaneously, an audible alarm will sound. For operators who use the combine in varied crops soybeans, grain and com a quick-attach system on the TR-70 makes changing headers fast and easy. The TR-70 can be equipped with 11, 13,15,17, 19 and 22- foot direct-cut headers; 11 and 13-foot windrow pickup headers and 4 and 6-row com headers. Grain tank capacity is 145 bushels. With an optional 45- bushel extension kit, the capacity is increased to 190 bushels. COMPLETE FARM PAINTING WE USE BRUNING QUALITY PAINT AND IT DOES STAY ON!"
