5.4 Description of foraging process
Grass mode with pick-up
To use grass mode, the forage harvester must be fitted with a suitable header, approved by the
manufacturer, and the crop must lay cut in a swath.
The header picks up the crop from the field and conveys it in front of the intake in the middle of
the forage harvester.
The intake of forage harvester draws in the crop with its rollers, compresses it and transports it
to the chopper unit.
The chopper unit chops up the crop with the blades on its rotating chopping drum and conveys
it through the grass channel to the discharge accelerator.
The discharge accelerator accelerates the crop to such an extent that they are conveyed at high
speed through the spout and out of the forage harvester, e.g. into a trailer pulled next to the
forage harvester.
Maize mode
To use the forage harvester in maize mode, it must be fitted with maize header approved by the
manufacturer.
The maize header uses its cutting system to cut the crops and conveys them in front of the
intake of the forage harvester in the middle of the vehicle.
The intake of forage harvester draws in the crops with its rollers, compresses them and
transports them to the chopper unit.
The chopper unit chops up the crops with the blades on its rotating chopping drum and conveys
them through the grass channel to the discharge accelerator.
The corn conditioner strikes the grains in the crops using two profiled rollers and conveys the
crops into the discharge accelerator.
The discharge accelerator accelerates the crops to such an extent that they are conveyed at
high speed through the spout and out of the forage harvester, e.g. into a trailer pulled next to
the forage harvester.
