Saw a CaseIH 8320 mower conditioner up close today and both rollers were made of a stack of round belting. In addition, the rollers were cut such that they intermeshed kind of like a New Holland haybine. I remember seeing the belting type material for the top roller on a IH 990. Can't remember if the bottom roller was plain steel or belting like the top. When I say belting, what I'm trying to describe is - if you laid a piece of baler belt flat and cookie cut a circle and then stacked them on a shaft - that's what the IH 990 and this CaseIH roller was made.
I gather the 7 ft CaseIH 8320 and Hesston 1110 are clones and the 9 ft CaseIH and Hesston 1120 are clones. Are these basically an IH design - from the 990 or did Hesston design and make the 990?
It seems like most of what I've read indicates the bottom roll is steel. Which is correct? Is there a Massey Ferguson, New Idea, Agco (Agco Allis), Challenger version of the above models and what would their model numbers be?
The 8320 I looked at was VERY simple in design and the rollers by design IMHO could never delaminate. I could see one of these haybines on my short list one of these days.
Thanks!
Bill
