Claas has expanded its six-, eight- and 12-row Conspeed maize header series with the addition of the newly developed Conspeed Linear.
The new offering consists of four different models: Conspeed 8-75 FC Linear , eight rows, foldable, 75cm distance between rows;
Conspeed 8-70 FC Linear eight rows, foldable, 70cm distance between rows; Conspeed 6-75 FC Linear six rows, foldable, 75cm distance between rows; Conspeed 6-70 FC Linear six rows, foldable, 70cm distance between rows.
The headers are designed for use on both the Lexion and Tucano combine harvester ranges.
The picking rollers are linear in construction and feature a front bearing. Each picking roller is equipped with four wear-resistent, adjustable blades with tungsten-carbide coating. The helical inlet ensures problem-free feeding of stalks.
New stripper plates improve the guidence of plants to the roller. This picking roller concept guarantees careful picking of cobs, while at the same time, a low level of stalk material reaches the combine harvester.
The feed chains run on synthetic tracks that ensure both smooth running and significantly reduced track wear. Depending on harvesting conditions, the distances between the picking plates can be electro-hydraulically adjusted from the cab.
The Conspeed Linear series is equiped with a horizontal chopper that is integrated into the gearbox unit. The chopping blades are partially abraded at the sides and spur edges and are also coated with tungsten carbride. This ensures that there is an accurate chaff pattern with a low power requirement.
The sturdy and durable synthetic hoods prevent the cobs from being damaged upon impact. For maintenance, the hoods can be easily opened and optimised, low-loss picking is achieved through a flat angle.
In the completely new picking gearbox, picking rollers and blade drives are intergrated so that each unit is separately safeguarded against overloading and foriegn matter. A spur gear takes over the lateral drive of the picking unit, and by simply changing the gearwheer the picking unit speed can be matched to the respective harvesting conditions.
When changing from working to transport position, the outer picking units fold in electro-hyraulically from the cab to give transport width of only 3m.
Other features available for the new Conspeed Linear include stubble-breakers, hydraulcially powered laid maize augers and hood enhancements.
For ease of operation and to reduce driver fatigue, the new Conspeed Linear incorperates both the claas Auto Pilot mechanical steering and claas Auto Contour ground contour systems.
