It makes no difference to the rotary harvesting unit how it
approaches the crop - it can operate along the rows, across
the rows or at an angle to them (row-independent). Thus,
the crop can be approached in the most suitable way.
There are no gaps through which the stalks can escape.
Although no counterknife is used, the fast rotating blades
(C) cut all the stalks within the unit’s operating width. The
slowly rotating gathering drums (A) pass the stalks along
the gatherer points (B). The stalk is seized by the row of
feed teeth (F) as if by a gripper. The forward motion of the
gathering drums (A) forces the crop against the feed teeth
(F) and so the stalks are conveyed along the guides and
scrapers (G) to the feed drums (E). Here, the cut crop lies
against the feed teeth (F) of feed drums (E), which bundle
the stalks neatly in the lengthwise direction (D) before
conveying them to the feed rolls of the forage harvester.
IMPORTANT: Carefully follow all information given
in the forage harvester Operator’s Manual
for ballasting, choice of drive speed for the
rotary harvesting unit, float adjustment and
installing attaching frame on harvester.
