Horsch’s new Titan 34UW chaser bin will help users gain optimum output from their combines, while also reducing the soil damage and compaction caused by harvest operations, which could help eradicate the need for expensive remedial cultivations.
The new model retains many strengths from the company’s previous range of chaser bins, but includes a number of significant technical advances to improve performance, which will help users optimise the efficiency of post-harvest operations.
Hopper capacity of 34 cubic metres means the bin can completely fill a lorry in one go, which will reduce the time lorries spend waiting at the field-edge. The new bin features a 600mm diameter hydraulically foldable unloading auger that can discharge 18t of grain/minute, so off-loading time is under 90 seconds.
It is fitted with a telescopic axle than can move each wheel outwards by 25cm (increasing its track width from 2.95m to 3.45m) to aid stability and ensure the chaser bin’s tyres do not run in the tractor’s tyre tracks. The danger of soil damage is further reduced by the use of large dimension tyres (900/60R32).
Additional optional features for the chaser bin are integrated weighing system, a pneumatic or hydraulic braking system, along with clear displays covering the main functions, especially those relating to the operation of the unloading auger.
