On the IMPRESS pick-up the tines are controlled from both sides by cam tracks made of steel and are supported centrally. This design of pick-up has the following advantages:

  • Slightly trailing tine angle for better contour tracking without scraping the ground

  • Active forage transfer to the rotor by using the full length of the tine up to just before the rotor (control point)

  • Tine dips down at a right angle to prevent the forage from being drawn in

  • Less combing of the forage due to lower speed for better chopping quality (fewer lengthwise stalks)

  • Reduced ejection due to low speed

  • Reliable collection driving downhill

  • Maximum conveying performance at high driving speeds

  • Reliable intake, even in difficult harvesting conditions

The central suspension of the pick-up allows side-to-side movement of 120 mm. Side-mounted jockey wheels that are easily height-adjustable, guide the pick-up over uneven ground. The wheels contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines.

Perfect forage flow at high speeds

An adjustable swath roller with a diameter of 200 mm and adjustable crop transfer rods ensure perfect forage flow even at high driving speeds. The entire unit follows the transverse movement of the pick-up so that smooth operation is always ensured.


Two feed augers

Two cross conveyor augers on each side ensure optimum feeding. Especially with dry material, these actively convey large volumes for enormous intake capacity.


Maximum width for maximum performance

With a working width of up to 2.30 m, even wide swaths can be picked up quickly and tidily. Driving into the swath and cornering are also much easier so driver fatigue is minimised.

Two pick-up widths

  • IMPRESS MASTER:

    2.05 m, with fixed jockey wheels / optional 2.30 m with trailing jockey wheels.

  • IMPRESS PRO:

    Standard 2.30 m with trailing jockey wheels.


Height guidance if required

Height-adjustable jockey wheels with 16 x 6.5 - 8 tyres handle the guidance of the pick-up. The floating function allows the pick-up to be operated without jockey wheels. In this mode, the height can be set to 8 positions. If necessary, the pick-up can move upwards.

Reduced ground pressure



Challenging conditions may require the ground pressure of the pick-up to be adjusted. Weight alleviation springs can reduce the pressure acting on the ground to approx. 100 kg. This is works especially well in wet and boggy conditions to protect the fragile sward.
