Crop Harvesting Crop Collection

The strict emission limits for self-propelled machines took a lot of development work during the last years. With the introduction of Stage IV for machines with more than 130 kW in 2014, these developments are largely completed. That will lead to further innovations to increase the overall machine efficiency and process quality of forage harvesters. In the area of balers the compaction performance will be improved to increase crop mass per bale. For loader wagons integrated knife sharpening systems are available to improve the cutting quality and in addition to reduce power requirement and the risk of blockages.
