The initial contact is key
Harvesting sunflowers is a sensitive job and the plants have to be treated with care to reap maximum results. It is the initial contact of the plant with the machine that makes the difference here. Our tips, specially developed for gentle sunflower harvesting, ensure a perfect start.
Frame and bodywork
Slim design
Sunflowers are a sensitive crop. Therefore we have made the side panels slim and lean to avoid shattering or damage and prevent losses.
Feeding the crop into the machine
Gently and cautiously for maximum yields
The height-adjustable and degressive helper roll helps feed the plants gently to the auger, pulling them through with great care and very slowly - thanks to its massive 620mm diameter. This significantly enhances the head's performance and effectiveness.
Well constructed
For minimized losses
Shatter-loss grooves ensure maximum versatility for varying row spacings. Combined with the independently adjustable helper roll this ensures an almost loss-free harvesting process.
