3.4- Functioning

HARVESTING:
The harvester is coupled to the tractor through the three-point hydraulic lift
system and driven through the power take-off. As you progress through the
crop, circular saws mounted on the two front drums cut through the crops that
are in the working range of the head. The plants are gathered by the drums to
the platform, where two front feeding drums collect and two rear rollers lead
them to the chopper rotor.
PROCESSING:
The harvested plants are led by the rollers against the rotor, whose knives
simultaneously chopp and launch the forage through a outlet chute.
The chop size is defined by the number of rotor knives and/or by the speed
of the feed rollers, changed by exchanging a pair of gears of the transmission
that move the rollers.
DISCHARGE:
The forage launched by the rotor is driven through an outlet chute and directed
by a deflector (jet-breaker) into a forage wagon, which moves coupled to the
harvester, where it is stored.

3.5- Required Tractor

The choice of tractor must take into account the hydraulic system lifting capacity
and the power required by the machine. It is recommended to use a category
2 tractor, with power from 100 to 140 hp in the power take-off (540 or 1000
rpm depending on the machine version), double clutch with independent drive
(PTO and engine).
The correct ratio between tractor size and machine weight ensures safety
during braking and maneuvering. The load lifted must not exceed the maximum
authorized load indicated in the tractor manual used (see machine weight under
'Technical Characteristics').
