Controlled pick-up
The controlled pick-up ensures both wilted or wet, heavy forage are collected cleanly and tidily, even when cornering.
Cam track control
The cam track control’s trailed dual tines deliver perfect crop take-up and transfer.
Wind guard
The wind guard is designed for perfect guidance along swaths and so guarantees smooth crop flow.
Jockey wheels
The rigid jockey wheels ensure an optimum guidance height.
On the BOSS JUNIOR pick-up, the 5 tine carriers are controlled by a steel cam track. This design has the following advantages:
Slightly trailing tine angle for better contour tracking without scraping the ground
Active forage transfer to the loading unit by using the full length of the tine
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 pick-up width of 1.550 mm enables the swath to be picked up cleanly and makes every corner easier to negotiate. Its adaptability means that the tines are guided over the ground with absolute precision, thereby protecting the swath and reducing the amount of crude ash in the crop.
The optimum torsion, spring suspension as standard and the jockey wheels make the pick-up adaptable to bumps in the ground for clean and tidy collection of the crop.
The pick-up is driven from the side by a heavy-duty chain drive. The chain drive is low-maintenance and extremely durable. To assist the driver, the pick-up switches off automatically after lifting which facilitates driving over the swath.
The wind guard ensures optimum crop flow even at high driving speeds. The optimised geometry conveys all the crop efficiently into the transfer throat.
The rigid jockey wheels run at the height at which the tines touch the ground and so guide the pick-up perfectly over every undulation. Clean forage collection is therefore guaranteed.
In addition, the height of the pick-up jockey wheels can be easily adjusted using a pin-in-hole matrix. This means the pick-up can be optimally adapted to any situation.
