3.1- Functioning

ƒ The harvester coupled to the tractor is positioned at one of the planting lines as it
moves forward over the line, the plants are simultaneously harvested by the cutting
discs and collected by the feeding drums. The two front drums pull and the two rear,
one of them movable, compact the material in order to maintain a uniform feed.
ƒ The harvested plants are pulled by the feeding drums and lead to the rotor where they
are chopped by the knives that work with a fixed counter knife. The chopping size
is defined by the feeding drums speed that lead the plants. The higher the feeding
speed, the bigger the chopping size and vice versa.
ƒ The forage is thrown by the rotor through the outlet chute. The rotating chute directs
the forage crop into a trailer engaged in the Harvester or truck moving along with
the machine.

3.1- Required Tractor

The choice of tractor must take into account the hydraulic system lifting capacity
and the power required by the machine. It is recommended to use a category 2
tractor, with power from 55 to 90 hp in the power take-off (540 rpm), double
clutch with independent drive (PTO and engine).
The correct ratio between tractor size and machine weight ensures safety
during braking and maneuvering. The load lifted must not exceed the maximum
authorized load indicated in the tractor manual used (see machine weight under
'Technical Characteristics').
