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 7 row pick-up is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track. Its tines are slightly trailed to sweep in a controlled arc. The pick-up’s hydraulic driveline automatically adjusts the speed to the travelling speed or can be adjusted manually.
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. This ensures that the loader wagon and knives are effectively protected against damage and costly downtimes are avoided.
The peninsula of Brittany has an oceanic climate which is very good for growing grass, but is not always easy for harvesting. With regular rainfall at all times of the year, we need to be able to depend on reliable equipment that is highly efficient in all conditions.
The new belt drive concept with loading torque sensor makes it possible to operate the JUMBO at maximum power at all times. The durability of the equipment depends a lot on how it is used, "I wanted the loader wagon to be able to constantly monitor the torque itself so that the driver is less fatigued."
