2024 John Deere Self-Propelled Forage Harvester Pickups 659
Hay Pickup5.0 m (16.4 ft.) pick-up features special auger flights that go all the way to the middle
Designed to be compatible with all 8000 Series SPFH models
Features may include:
Special auger flight design for smoother feeding to the self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH)- The crop is carried to the middle of the pickup by the auger, and due to endless flighting, there is a smooth transition into the feedrolls which helps crop flow and quality of cut.
- Crop is more evenly distributed over the full channel width.
- The advantage of the John Deere self-propelled forage harvesters (SPFH) is that the speed of the pickup changes if the length of cut (LOC) is changed. This has enormous benefits for the producer.
- For example, if the LOC is set longer, the header is also driven faster, which means the crop is fed faster towards the SPFH. This increase results in a more even crop flow and better feeding of the SPFH.
- The speed of the pickup is constantly monitored with a speed sensor in the driveline. There are drive options to allow the individual speed of the pickup reel and auger to better adapt to varying field conditions.
- The gauge wheels can turn 360 degrees; therefore, they are very easy on the soil. The large tire diameter performs well on wet ground.
- The wheels perfectly follow the ground contours and do not work the soil; they can turn unlimited in field corners.
