The intake system

Hydraulic drive: The LOC is steplessly adjustable from the cab
6 pre-compression rollers for top-quality chops
Perfect protection from foreign objects which travel a long path
from the full-width metal detector to the chopping drum

On a precision forage harvester it is also the intake system that has an influence on the quality of chop. The 6 intake rollers on BiG X compress the material consistently at a high pressure so that it is easier and more precisely to chop. The hydraulic drive of the intake system allows operators to choose between setting the LOC manually or automatically.

Versatile and flexible: Six pre-compression rollers and the 820 mm gap between the leading roller with metal detector and the counterblade not only enhance pre-compression but also protect the blades better against metal objects, even at high-speed intake. The hydraulic drive in combination with AutoScan adjust the chop length automatically to the maturity of the crop.

Across the full width: The leading bottom rollers are studded with sensors across the full width which detect any metal that is about to enter the machine. The large throat volume makes for highest throughputs. The robust drives withstand the highest strains.

Folding open: Operators can fold the intake system forward to gain access to the chopping drum and the counterblade.
