I know of the different air induction, and the larger diameter rotor pulley but is there any other big improvements or changes between the two years. Any horsepower differences?? Both machines have the AFX in them
03 and later no longer have the pto clutch seperator engagement. They have a clylinder and a belt like the smaller machines always had/ like a 40/60 size machine.
It was actually 02 the belt tensioner drive came in and yep a step backwards in my book too. They also put the hydraulic feeder reverse on, heavier brackets on the sieve pivots, bigger fuel tank(with a crappy cap!) a better AFS screen, remote sieve adjusters-there is probably more but I cant think of them all.
Well you do way less seperator clutches though. The clucth design was maxed out for hp. If the belt is properly tensioned and engaged at idle with the updated orfice the belt lasts a very long time and is much cheaper than a clutch job.
