Swath merging with a conditioner
With the COLLECTOR you can mow, condition and swath in just one pass. You save time and money and reduce your weather risk. With the COLLECTOR system, the crop can be placed to meet your requirements: as a wide blanket, in a swath, or wide-spread to one side. The cross conveyor belts can be pivoted hydraulically individually and can be easily removed if required. You have great flexibility in setting belt speeds. Uniform swath placement is possible even on steep ground.
The COLLECTOR is available for the NOVACAT X8 ED and NOVACAT V 10000 ED / RC.
Maximum flexibility
High output and maximum flexibility thanks to variable width forage placement are offered by the mower combinations NOVACAT X8 COLLECTOR with a fixed working width of 8.3 m and NOVACAT V 10000 COLLECTOR with a variable working width between 8.8 m and 10.02 m.
Perfect ground tracking despite higher weight
The two conveyor belts feature perfect weight alleviation. As a result, the ground tracking of the mower units is not negatively influenced.
Maximum output
Even with large volumes of forage, your mower works reliably thanks to the large conditioner hood and the 980 mm wide belt. You are guaranteed neat swath placement at maximum output.
NOVACAT V 10000
On the NOVACAT V 10000 the cross conveyor belts are driven by the tractor’s hydraulics.
On the standard SELECT CONTROL terminal, the operating speed can be regulated using the oil flowrate function on the tractor remote. Belt speed can be adjusted on the control terminal.
On machines with an ISOBUS control system oil is supplied via the load sensing system. You can adjust the speed electronically using the control terminal. An automatic mode can also be activated to control this.
Convenience
Thanks to the integrated conveyor belt monitor, mower blockages due to the cross conveyor belts not being switched on are avoided. An acoustic warning signal indicates that the conveyor belts are not switched on while they are in the working position.
The hydraulic mower weight alleviation system reduces wear and increases the service life of the machine as a result. In addition, the weight alleviation system reduces the crude ash content of the forage at the same time as lowering fuel consumption.
It only takes a few minutes to remove the conveyor belts and park them on their own stands.
You have the choice when it comes to swath placement. Depending on your requirements, you can pivot the two cross conveyor belts up and down hydraulically conveniently from the tractor seat.
Individual swaths
Raising the cross conveyor belts and narrowing the swath doors places three compact individual swaths.
Wide spread placement
With the swath doors open, guide plates direct the flow of forage across the whole mown width. The forage is deposited in a uniform and airy blanket.
Three swaths in one
The conveyor belts place the three swaths into one large central swath.
Intelligent swath placement
With the conveyor belts lifted individually, up to 40% raking work can be saved with a large TOP rake. That is how you save time and money.
Optimum swath placement
A mechanically height-adjustable acceleration roller is available as an option for the NOVACAT V 10000 ED / RC. This lets you adjust the swath width. Compact swaths formed by running both COLLECTOR belts to one side are possible with the optional swath rake.
