Moveable front panel

The moveable front panel is standard on the JUMBO 5000 and provides an addition volume of 4.3 m3 with the same length of wagon. Driver fatigue is reduced thanks to the fully-automatic loading process. Two adjustable sensors enable precise automatic loading and evenly filled loads.

At the design stage, particular attention was paid to ensuring that the driver has a good view inside the loading chamber. The movable front panel also supports the unloading process. The block of forage is pushed to the back and automatically overturned soon after the scraper floor starts up.

Optimum weight distribution

The front panel makes the loader wagon more compact so that manoeuvrability is improved in small fields and on narrow farm tracks.

Optimised load distribution between the axle load and drawbar load ensures stable and safe driving independently of the filling level of the wagon.

Because the loading chamber slants forward at the front and the opening is closer to the tractor, it is easier to fill using a forage harvester. There are no obstructions on the JUMBO such as forage compression flaps or cross beams.


Automatic loading system

The automatic loading system is fitted as standard to provide a high level of assistance. To guarantee the best possible working results, two modes are available with the following sensors:

1 Dynamometer bolt in the front panel

2 Measuring point on the upper forage compression flap

3 Loading torque measurement on the driveline (optional)

Choose loading torque measurement on the driveline for best results with damp forage so that it is not forced to reach the top compression flap. The more frequently selected option is the combination of dynamometer bolt in the front panel and the measuring point in the moveable upper forage compression flap. This is designed for classic wilted silage

The automatic loading system can be set by the driver and receives signals from up to three sources. Depending on the application, the sensors can be used together or individually.


Dynamometer bolt on the front panel

Thanks to an integrated dynamometer bolt, the JUMBO can be optimally filled from front to back. By leaning the front panel back slightly in the loading position, increased pre-compression of the harvested material can be achieved. This is detected by the pressure applied to the front panel, which also activates the scraper floor. Once the wagon has been completely filled up, the front panel pivots forward in 3 steps. These can also be set specifically according to the compression measured by the dynameter bolt. At the same time, the sensor bolt protects the front panel against overload.


Sensor on the forage compression flap

A sensor monitors the position of the upper forage compression flap to ensure the optimum filling level of the JUMBO. When the forage reaches the flap, it pushes it upwards. This is detected by the sensor, which switches on the scraper floor after an adjustable delay time.

The forage compression flap is spring-loaded and can be adjusted by altering the force applied by the spring.


Loading torque sensor

In order to be able to optimise the JUMBO to the forage and the tractor power, an optional torque sensor constantly monitors the torque applied to the drive train.

When this reaches the set maximum value, the scraper floor is activated. That is how the compaction of the forage by the rotor can be optimally adapted to the incoming forage volume and the power of the tractor.
