They grind it up but not that bad. We still bale behind it. They are nothing like a 9500's straw though. Wouldnt trade it for the world on beans and corn though and those are the staple crops we dont even bale that much wheat now a days its mainly corn stalks.

I saw a video of one before, might been a different model but was a John Deere rotary. It left a flat chewed up windrow. From seeing that it was a poor quality of straw. Some people like their straw chewed up. For me I like a nice fluffy good quality of straw. Stay away from the Gleaner Rs when it comes to straw. Those really chew it up. To where even a round baler has a rough time with it.
So far I have yet to see a Rotary outperform a Conventional when it comes to straw quality.

Rotery combines chew the straw up really bad. If you want to make nice straw bales go with a walker combine.

My step Grandpa has a gleaner R62 and the straw that out of the back of that silver machine is awesome. It leaves a better windrow of straw than the guys combine that custom cuts for us. He runs and 08 or 09 New Holland 9060. That thing is good for straw but if you had the sliver bullet I like to call it in the same Field would tell the difference. The Gleaner leaves such nicer straw. |

The bullet rotors leave pretty good straw not like a conventional does tho, The reason the AFX's don't leave good straw is because of the straw chopper but if you have a magna cut they are supposed to leave better. If you had the chance and its not a issue go with a older combine like a 9600 if its availible. From what i heard the new deere walkers aren't being shipped over here anymore because of sales.
Hope this helps.

As for the Gleaner R's with straw it really depends. I think a Gleaner R will leave as good of a windrow as a john deere rotor, the worst to bale behind would have to be a case IH. We bale behind our Gleaner every year but only behind the R52 because it doesn't have a straw chopper. The R62 does have a straw chopper and it does chew up the straw too much to bale behind. Our 567 John Deere had no problem baling the straw up, plus the straw was a little finer and shorter so it is actually easier to use then straw from a conventional.

the problem with a rotary is you set it for straw or you set it for grain. you can get good straw out of them but your sample and overthrow WILL suffer.

From what I was told by Wayne who is in the straw business. He baled behind a R40 and a R52 once. With the newest John Deere baler offered at that time. Which was a few years ago. He said the bales wouldn't hardly start in the baler chamber. And when he was picking them up some actually fell apart. And they just dropped the straw. From what I know all your main straw producers in my area only uses walkers. I know a couple farmers who bales up over 1k acres worth. They both use walker combines. One uses a pair of M2s, and the other a JD 9500 and JD 9550.

We run a 9650 and bale behind it. The bales seem ok but not great. They work for us because we grind and feed them to our cattle.

Our neighboring pioneer dealer 15 miles away bales straw for his personal use. He used to use a 9600 and then bought a 9660sts or 9650sts and said he noticed the difference in the straw quality, but it wasn't bad enough to prevent him from baling it.
