The pick-up cam track with its solid inner core is made of high-quality steel – not a casting. An inspection hole fitted as standard allows easy checking of the rollers and cam track.
The cam rollers are equipped with sealed deep-groove ball bearings and designed to withstand heavy duty operation.
Transfer plates between the pick-up and the loading system allow soil and stones to drop through - less contamination of the forage and a reduced risk of damage to the knives.
Having proven itself over many years of operation, the pick-up gets a straight "A" rating. The suspension system and precision tracking on uneven ground guarantee the forage is picked up cleanly.
1.55 m pick-up width, 4 rows of tines. The pick-up tines move through a controlled arc over the ground. This protects the sward and guarantees tidy crop pick up.
The pick-up's optimum torsion properties and powerful countersprings enable it to adapt to uneven ground.
The 15x6.00-6 pick-up jockey wheels with 8 position settings are precisely in line with the contact point of the tines.
Outwardly tapered pick-up side plates guide all the crop into the transfer duct. The height-adjustable wind guard ensures clean pick-up even with short-chopped forage.
The hydraulic lift system has two cylinders; one at each end The pick-up switches off automatically when raised.
The pick-up is driven from one side by a heavy duty chain drive. A freewheel clutch protects the tines when reversing. The conveyor unit can be rotated manually, e.g. for maintenance work, at the drive gear using the lever supplied.
