Plus points self-propelled tanker harvester

1. Special discharge elevator with swan-neck guarantees the lowest possible drop height into truck or trailer. The reach of the discharge elevator is 1 to 4,3 meters.

2. Efficient holding of the product is achieved with the 14 tonne hopper. A sensor at the top of the hopper filling belt enables automatic filling of the hopper with the lowest possible drop height, with product friendly transition to the hopper discharge elevator.

3. The hopper discharge belt with an optimal width of 1,200 mm enables complete filling of the trailer. Unloading on the move allows non-stop harvesting.

4. The standard machine is equipped with wide Claas tracks on the rear and 270/95 R54 wheels on the front with excellent weight distribution for harvesting under all field and weather conditions. Besides that, every machine is equipped with cross leveling for harvesting on hilly terrain.

5. Intake units with driven discs and electronic depth control. Possibility to harvest just two rows. Lifting shears are equipped with shear bolt protection.

6. SCANIA TIER iV engine with AdBlue®: less noise and lower emissions.

7. Independent speed control of all sieving webs from the cabin. Furthermore the webs are equipped with non-slip drive due to the use of polyurethane drive sprockets.

8. Independent suspension of the haulm topper (optional) with height control. Equipped with double driven haulm discharge belt or high speed rotor and haulm spreader.

9. The spacious and luxurious Claas Vista 2 cabin coupled with the open chassis give a perfect view of harvesting proceedings - it has never been so easy to stay focused on a long day.

10. 12” touchscreen monitor: more color depth is achieved by a higher resolution and a clear lay-out. More diagnostic information allows the operator to under-stand and solve problems more easily. The self-developed Ploeger software offers numerous automatic functions and updates are directly available.

11. Unique Ploeger up-and-over elevator: the most product friendly system thanks to a large capacity per pocket, which distributes the product to the hopper filling belt. Divider webs ensure minimum drop height from the Ploeger up-and-over elevator onto the hopper filling belt.

12. Simple machine construction: all sieving webs have the same width and all hydraulic drives are mounted on the outside of the machine. By using standard components / bearings the machine is maintenance friendly.

13. Multiple cleaning units such as the axial roller system, PSHS-system and / or pintle belts.

Renewed styling: recognizable Ploeger look
