Key Features
Epicyclic knife drive increases drive capacity
Epicyclic knife-drive gearbox
Heavy-duty epicyclic knife-drive gearbox provides an enhanced knife-drive system that increases drive capacity with less vibration and improved reliability.
- 89-mm (3.5-in.) knife stroke adds a more efficient cutting action. The increased stroke improves the cutterbar's ability to cut even in adverse conditions, such as large-stemmed crops or weeds, without plugging.
- Knife speed is 520 rpm on both rigid and flexible platforms.
- In-line vs. wobble-geometry knife head oscillates in a straight line and not through a radius like the previous knife drive, increasing the knife head's reliability.
- Knife head and gearbox attachment is improved. Two capscrews can be easily removed if any service to the knife is required.
Rigid header height sensing maintains consistent cut height
Ground contacting sensor arms
The updated mechanical header height sensing system for 600R Platforms is a major improvement to rigid platform operation. This system maintains a consistent cut height from 100 mm to 355 mm (4 in. to 14 in.).
- Sensing is done close to the cutterbar.
- Poly skid shoe pads are replaceable and prevent sparking in dry conditions.
- Header height sensor arms can be easily locked out. Rugged construction allows turning while on the ground and backing up.
Single-point hydraulic and electrical hookup saves time
Connect the electrical, hydraulics, and lock pins
A single-point connection located on the platform and combine allows easy hookup from the ground without the use of tools, saving time when moving from field to field and when changing header types.
One easy motion of the lever connects the electrical circuits, hydraulic circuits, and header retaining pins.
Easy adjustments reduce downtime
Adjusting chain drive
The adjustments are fewer and easier on the 600 Series Platforms.
Platform adjustments are made from standing on the ground, using one 24-mm (15/16-in.) wrench. All adjustments are made from the left-hand side, with the exception of the reel pitch and platform auger position on the right-hand side.
