In Reply to: CR v's CX posted by bluey on December 23, 2007 at 17:40:41:

We ran a couple of TR's before switching over to a CX 840. What crops do you grow? The CX is a very good machine and doesn't have all the wear associated with it compared to a rotary. Burns less fuel and I believe the CX is cheaper to operate in the long run. The CR probably does a little better job not to damage the grain. The CX is quite agressive and can split or crack grain more than a CR. We are north of Edmonton Alberta and the crops we grow are Wheat, Barley, Canola, and Oats. The crop the CX is weakest in I would say is Barley. Losses over the sieve and walkers start to climb when ground speed picks up. It does a wonderful job in wheat and canola. The wide feederhouse is really appreciated in canola crops. We swath everything with a 21 foot swather and travel around 4.5 - 5.0 mph. The combine can go faster but to do the job that is where you should be. Yields of Barley are 100 bu + CPS Wheat at 85 - 100 bu ac and canola 55 - 70 bu/ac. I hope this helps
