Today, ever larger areas are expected to be covered in ever shorter harvest windows. That is why it is more important than ever to have machinery you can really rely on.
For this reason, the JUMBO has been designed for maximum reliability. One of the greatest challenges here is to ensure clean crop collection under all operating conditions and throughout the entire season.
The 6 and 7 row pick-ups are controlled from both ends by a steel cam track. Their tines are slightly trailing, which prevents them from digging into the ground and damaging the sward.
This guarantees maximum performance at high travelling speeds, as well as constant intake.
The JUMBO delivers reliable crop harvesting under all kinds of operating conditions, whether the crop is wilted silage, wet silage (< 30% DM), whole crop or straw. The tine control ensures a longer active conveyor effect right up to the withdrawal point. This ensures the forage is transferred to the rotor perfectly.
Thanks to the reduced speed of the rotor, the forage is not “dragged through”. The existing alignment of stalks in the swath is retained, transferred 1:1 to the rotor and guarantees the best possible chopping quality.
As soon as the large rotor with its optimised tine contour has taken up the forage from the pick-up, it feeds it gradually through the 34 mm short-chop chopping system.
Should foreign objects enter the crop flow the patented individual knife protection system lets them pass through and automatically returns the knife to the starting position. The individual knife protection system stops objects from being broken up and entering the forage, so there is no risk of injuring the animals' digestive tract. This ensures that the loader wagon, the knives, and your animals, are effectively protected against damage and costly downtimes during the harvest are avoided.
