5.8 Main drive brake
Fig. 27
To reduce the coast down time of the chopping drum, the main drive is equipped with a
hydraulically controlled brake (1).
If the chopping drum is switched off in field mode, the engine brakes from full speed to the idle
speed of 1100 rpm. After that, the main coupling is switched off.
Then the brake main drive is automatically activated and brakes the chopping drum to a
complete stop in a short time.
After max. 10 sec. the entire crop flow stops.
5.9 Corn conditioner
The corn conditioner, which is installed in the crop flow for the maize crops, strikes the grains
contained in the crops to improve the digestibility of the forage.
The corn conditioner features two toothed rollers which are driven by a power belt.
Both rollers can be used with 105, 123, 144 or with 166 teeth.
The rollers rotate at different speeds and the space between them can be adjusted from the
terminal to obtain an optimum work result.
Optionally the corn conditioner can also be fitted with discs.
5.10 Discharge accelerator
The discharge accelerator accelerates the crops out of the corn conditioner or to the grass
channel and conveys them further into the discharge chute.
The discharge accelerator rear is spring-mounted so that it can move backwards when material
accumulates in the crop flow.
To optimise the discharge capacity or to reduce wear, the rear wall can be adjusted.
