5.3 Maize harvesting C3000
Intake speeds & cutting length adjustment
The speed of the feeding and intake
devices is adjustable for each
harvesting condition and crop type.
The gearbox with reverse is
particularly user-friendly.
There are two header drive speeds
as well as 4 speeds for the
precompression and feed rolls. A
further Stage is available in the
gathering drum Spur gear. With
these ratios in three gears, this gives
a total of 12 different speeds for the
gathering drums. This is of great
advantage for harvesting as the
universal crop chopper offers
optimum adaptation to the degree of
ripeness of the crop.
Intake speeds
Uniform intake of the crop
substantially affects the performance
of the crop chopper and chopping
quality. The correct gathering drum
speed should be selected, and to
achieve the optirnum result should
be in the region of 25 - 30 rprn. See
also values shown on chart.
Spur gears B and C each have 2
PT0 stubbs
1 = fast
2 = slow
PTO shaft position
Chopping lengths - grain cracking - interchangeable plate
For optimum harvesting and minimum power requirement, the longest
acceptable chop length should be used.
The dry matter content will dictate use of the cracking plate. The Champion is
designed with easily interchangeable smooth plate for grass and cracking
plate for maize.
