The Shelbourne Pick-Up header range is designed to be used in conjunction with the Advantage Swather. This oilseed rape harvesting system gives maximum harvesting capacity and minimum losses. Other popular applications include grass seed harvesting. The joint-less one piece conveyor belt eliminates any possibility of grain loss even in small seeded crops.
The basic machine consists of a suspended conveyor module which covers the full width. A large diameter front and rear roller and substantial internal sub-frame combine to give rigidity in undulating ground and durability when faced with foreign objects. The conveyor suspension system involves an adjustable spring to control the down force and a shock absorber to allow the conveyor to accurately follow ground contours.
The conveyor module can be mounted in two positions within the frame depending upon the size and length of swath being harvested. A standard large diameter auger with retractable sentre fingers is then used to feed the material back into the combine feederhouse. The header is fixed to the combine using an adaptor plate system. The underside of the header is protected by two adjustable skids.
