The Vicon Rotex Combi 800 features the new MaxiFlow pick-up, the first pick-up with a hydraulic driveline. The driveline is mounted onto the pick-up, without the need for the traditional gearbox and chain drive that limits the flexibility in relation to ground adaptation. The MaxiFlow pick-up features a centre pivot suspension of the entire pick-up unit that offers transverse adaptation of +/- 100mm on each side of the pick-up unit. The MaxiFlow suspension allows the pick-up to float smoothly over ground undulations, ensuring incredibly accurate, close raking performance in even the most demanding field conditions.
Should a blockage occur in the intake system, the new hydraulic driveline allows the possibility of reversing the pick-up, to clear blockages in seconds from the tractor seat. A pressure control valve inside the hydraulic driveline protects the entire pick-up unit from overload and damage, in heavy crop conditions or when hitting a foreign obstacle. Intake speed of the pick-up can be adjusted from the tractor seat, allowing the operator to customize speed to current swath size and forward driving speed.
The Rotex Combi pre-chopping system, with a total of 40 knives, offers the ultimate solution for short chop, with a chop length of 38mm. The complete knife unit is easily accessible for daily inspection and maintenance. The chopping unit is simply lowered and swung out. The knives are quickly released without the use of tools.
The Vicon Rotex Combi is designed to bear the heaviest of loads. The strong and very stable 24 t boogie tandem axle offers smooth operation and is designed for safe and fast transport of the crop to the silo clamp, or when working off-road in the field. The Dual Mode system makes it possible to choose between steered wheels or power steering. Features such as the generously dimensioned chain-and-slat conveyor, SuperStructure side walls and driveline and gearboxes capable of handling up to 2100Nm of torque, brings the new Rotex Combi in a class of its own.
The Vicon Rotex Combi 800 is fully ISOBUS compliant and will plug directly into any ISOBUS compatible tractor without the need for a separate control box.
