Advanced Harvesting System®

Measuring 140-inches long, the variable-speed rotor performs four tasks -- intake, threshing, separating and residue discharge -- and forms the basis for the Advanced Harvesting System. The longest in the industry, the rotor is hydraulically driven and electronically monitored, so you can set the speed to match crop conditions.

Once set, rotor speed remains constant, regardless of changes in engine rpm or field conditions.

 

 

The two-speed gearbox allows a speed range of 175 to 970 rpm. Should a plug occur, the operator can reverse the motion of the rotor without leaving the cab, using full hydrostatic power.

Threshing elements are interchangeable, reversible and tungsten carbide protected resisting wear over countless hours of field use. The rotor comes standard with 21 knives to prevent roping. You also have the option of installing up to 21 additional knives and removing knives as needed.

Gentle, yet complete threshing occurs over the seven sections of concaves wrapped 140 degrees around the rotor. Meanwhile, concave clearance is electrically controlled from the Harvest Management Center in the cab, for maximum productivity and efficiency. A patented direct discharge rotor ejects residue directly from the rotor, reducing complexity and horsepower consumption, while improving straw quality for windrow applications.
