Headers BiG X

Cutting without counterblade: The stalks are cut by high-rpm sickle discs which rotate on massive bolts that connect them to the driveline. The cut stalks are then fed to the chopping drum by endless collectors which ensure a uniform flow.

The central gearbox: Operators can select one of two speeds to adjust the cutting frequency to the individual crop and harvest conditions.

Compact design: The wings on the three-piece XCollect headers fold up into their transport position. This design leads to a 3 m (9'10") transport width for the XCollect 600-3 and 750-3 and a 3.29 m (10'9") width for the XCollect 900-3 which have optimised hydraulic rams that lift and lower the wings even faster.

Harvesting without losses: The sickle discs rotate on one plane, cutting the stalks without squeezing them. This technology minimizes vibration avoiding cob loss.

Everything under control: The well-proven collector feeds the stalks lengthwise to the chopping drum.It is this linear crop feed that enables precision chops and minimum overlengths.The variable collector speed is standard and ensures a consistently high quality of chop.

Fractured stubble: The high-speed sickle discs cut the stalks and defibrate the stubble for optimum breakdown.

Hovering over the ground: The header has three sensor skids, one in the middle and two out on the ends, for optimum contouringand clean cuts in undulating fields and for clean forage.

Protected driveline: Star ratchet clutches protect the sickle disc driveline from overload. Speed sensors scan the speeds of two discs and send potential overload information to the operator terminal. In addition to this, a friction lining on each disc offers additional protection.

Maximum ride comfort: A fully integral and hydraulic transport chassis is available as an option. The advantage of this is that is takes weight off the front axle, enhances operator comfort and makes homologation easier. This chassis is not removed from the base machine and not parked separately in the field but is simply raised out of work.
