AX self-loading and forager-filled forage wagons

• Bottom- or top-mount drawbar
• Articulated drawbar for high ground clearance
• Drawbar suspension for comfortable rides
• Sprung or unsprung tandem axles with hydraulic levelling system

Varying harvest conditions, difficult situations on the clamp, high payloads, and longdistance travel at speed call for a running gear and a drawbar that offer maximum strength and stability as well as superior operator comfort and safety. Choose between the top-mounting hitch ring, the bottom-mount pivoting drawbar, the ball hitch or the articulated drawbar. This and the caster-steer tandem axles with either mechanical or hydraulic suspension allow you to specify your machine to your specific requirements.

The top-mount 40 mm hitch ring couples to the tractor clevis.

The bottom-mount K80 ball hitch brings great agility, minimizes wear and offers tongue loads of up to 3 tonnes.

The articulated drawbar offers hydraulic height control which can also be operated from an optional button on the headboard. Another practical feature is the auto feature for the articulated drawbar which allows operators to retrieve a stored field/road position. The latter increases the ground clearance by up to 60 cm for easier manoeuvring on the headland or clamp.

A suspended drawbar is available as an option on the AX and is a particular boon during long-distance travel on bumpy roads.

The AX 250 has standard tandem axles with mechanical suspension that off er a gross axle load of 10.14 t or 16 t depending on tyre size. The axle load on the AX 280 and 310 is 16 t and maximum speed is 40 km/h. One of the two rigid axles can be caster-steered as an option, which helps avoiding turf damage when travelling through bends. The steering can be locked during shunting and clamping.
