Chrome Liners For Forage Choppers

Chrome Liners For Forage Choppers HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Forage Harvesters 26-4-41 "These chrome liners will last three to four times longer than any other liner on the market," says Craig Talbot, R & H Machine, Inc., Caldwell, Idaho. The company specializes in chrome alloy wear parts for tillage tools and planters. The chrome alloy liner bolts onto the blower chute and consists of 6 1/2-in. wide overlapping sections that vary in length and shape, depending on the chopper brand and model. The individual sections bolt together. To install them, the operator drills holes in the blower housing. "It's a popular liner with custom forage choppers. In fact, some New Holland dealers in the San Joaquin Valley of California won't sell a new chopper without our liner in it," says Talbot. "If a crack develops in one of the liner sections, you can replace just that section. "You can put the old liner back in with no problem when selling the machine. When installing the liner, it's a good idea to apply silicone between the liner and the housing, which greatly reduces vibration." The chrome liner sells for 10 to 15 percent more than conventional high-wear liners. The company also sells long-wearing chrome alloy skids for forage chopper heads as well as swathers.
