The Class VIII RT490 combine was designed to be rugged, reliable and simple to maintain and service. At the core of the Versatile RT490 is the revolutionary Rotating Concave Rotary System. A 360° concave wraps around a large rotor and counter-rotates. The counter rotation of the concave in relation to the rotor creates an unsurpassed threshing and separating area. .RCR360 System The moving concave eliminates the traditional “dead zone” found in typical rotary systems. The grain is threshed three times in each rotation, which increases throughput and provides a cleaner grain sample. The moving concave is self-cleaning. The rotor system allows the RT490 to be more productive in high-yield fields and in difficult crop conditions than competitive units with a stationary concave. CAB The Versatile RT490 cab was designed for long operating days. A large glass area and panoramic widows create an excellent view of the header during harvesting. A standard training seat, cooler, air-conditioner and sun visor further the operator comfort on long working days. FEEDER HOUSE .Feeder Housing Versatile's RT490 has a chain type of feeder housing which allows for greater feeding capacity and even feeding to the threshing system. .Stone Protection The RT490 has a large stone trap to protect the combine’s critical components. The rock trap can be cleaned out easily with the handle on the left hand side of the feeder housing.
