| Don't think it will be a bi-rotor. Deere only bought the bi-rotor patent rights to keep them from Cat. It worked cause Cat sold out their ag business to AGCO.
In addition, the bi-rotor is really best suited for dry corn and lower yeild dry land wheat when there is not much MOG (material other than grain) in the rotor.... "Kansas type harvesting conditions". It simply did not have the capicity in heavier wheat and wet corn or green stemmed beans.
I am sure with development they could have improved on those shortfalls, but that would suggest a larger rotor and cage and therefore no cost advantage vs a tradition single rotor with a stationary cage.
I would imagine Deere entry for a class 9 will be a tweaked version of their current STS "bullet rotor" with some added length or an "APS" type beater up front to do some to the threshing. | |
