Higher threshing performance.

Cutterbars for grain and rapeseed.

Practical benefits for you.

• The integrated rapeseed plates are infinitely adjustable through a range of up to 700 mm
• The angled cross-tube offers you a better view of the cutterbar table
• There is a noticeable reduction in stalk intake by the optimised reel
• Automatic reel tractive force control reduces your workload when harvesting laid grain
• CEMOS AUTO HEADER takes care of adjusting the reel and the table length
• Crop dividers and rapeseed knives can be fitted and removed quickly without the need for tools
• The large, 660 mm diameter of the intake auger enables an optimal crop flow
  

The hydraulic reel drive adjusts the tractive power of the reel automatically to cope with difficult harvesting conditions, such as laid crops. At the same time, the automatic height control system, which operates on the basis of the programmed pressure and sensitivity levels, helps to maintain a continuous crop flow.

CEMOS AUTO HEADER is the first assistance system that automatically adjusts cutterbar settings, such as table length and reel position, to the prevailing harvesting conditions. The FIELD SCANNER detects the height of the plants while the material feed height sensor in the feeder housing evaluates the crop flow. On the basis of these data, CEMOS AUTO HEADER actively controls the position of the reel and the VARIO cutterbar table.
This results in a consistent crop flow and improves the performance and efficiency of the threshing unit as well as the separation and cleaning functions. In other words, you can benefit from significantly greater convenience and precision at the touch of a button.

Your combine harvester configures the key parameters automatically to prepare for work more quickly. It does this based on the following information it receives from the front attachment module: cutterbar type, working width, number of sections, reel position, parking position and the AUTO CONTOUR set values for working height and hectare counter.

You benefit right from the start.

• The combine harvester is ready to harvest in next to no time.
• It is significantly easier to operate.
• The positions of the reel, VARIO cutterbar table and feeder housing are taken into account to rule out the risk of collisions and damage.

You can easily adjust the position of the cutterbar table from –100 mm to +600 mm by means of the multifunction lever.

You therefore have an infinitely variable overall adjustment range of 700 mm with which you can optimise the cutterbar for the prevailing harvesting conditions.

Conversion to rapeseed harvesting takes you only a few minutes thanks to the integrated rapeseed plates and the rapeseed knives which can be fitted without tools. The entire adjustment range of 70 cm remains available, even with the rapeseed knives attached. As well as permitting a very compact transport position, this means that rapeseed knives can also be used in other crops, such as field beans.

A trouble-free crop flow starts right at the cutterbar, with the correct height setting of the intake auger being a particularly important factor.
Height scales are therefore provided on the left and right sides to aid easy adjustment.
In the case of the larger working widths of the VARIO 1080 and higher, the divided intake auger can also be adjusted hydraulically in the centre.

• Control via CEBIS or directly on the cutterbar
• Adaptation to crop type, yield and conditions

The stripper plates in the cutterbar trough can also be adjusted conveniently from outside.

A planetary gear system ensures that the knife bar drive runs extremely smoothly. When you change the position of the cutterbar table, the drive shaft adjusts telescopically at the same time.
This allows you to continue working in any position without the need for operator intervention. The intake auger and knife drive are protected by individual overload clutches.

Drive train for VARIO 1380 / 1230 / 1080.

The low-maintenance drive train is matched precisely to the divided reel design used in these models. With knives driven synchronously at left and right via planetary gears, the cutter bar runs very smoothly. The gear units are also equipped with overload clutches.

A hydraulic motor and a gearbox provide the drive:

• Longer maintenance intervals and therefore reduced maintenance effort required
• Cutterbar table can also be fully retracted with rapeseed knives attached
• Possible to work with rapeseed knifes in various different crops
• Compact transport position on the transport trailer with rapeseed knives fitted
• Allows automatic reel tractive force control
  
  

The cutting performance of the rapeseed knives has been increased by 50% compared with the previous model. As a result, even challenging areas can be harvested more easily and heavy weed growth at the edges of fields presents fewer problems.
The rapeseed knives are also easier to handle thanks to their 33% reduced weight which makes the fitting process quick and straightforward.

• Convenient direct setting using the multifunction lever or, for further adjustment, via CEBIS
• Active cutting height control by means of AUTO CONTOUR
• Transverse and longitudinal control can be overridden at any time
