SELF-PROPELLED FORAGE HARVESTER KSK-600 “PALESSE FS60”

Forage harvester - used for mowing and selecting cultivated and wild grasses, tall plants, chopping and loading the resulting mass for further transportation. By design they are divided into self-propelled and trailed, and by type of chopper - into drum and disk. The main units of the combine are the header (picker), feeder, chopping apparatus, and transport devices. As a rule, the drive of the working parts for self-propelled combines is hydraulic, for trailed ones - from the power take-off shaft of the traction machine. The working width of the treated area can reach 12 meters. Modern combine harvesters have a fully automated control and monitoring system, for example, like a beet harvester.

Purpose

The combine is designed to perform operations for harvesting green fodder, silage, haylage, mowing sunflower, corn at any stage of grain ripeness and other tall crops, selecting grass mass from windrows, followed by grinding and moving it to vehicles. Palesse 600 can be used in conjunction with auxiliary equipment to increase efficiency.

The equipment is suitable for operation in various soil and climatic zones, with the exception of zones with highly moist soil and mountainous areas. It is also not recommended to use the machine on flat fields with a slope of more than 8 degrees. The use of KSK 600 Polesie in the Central, Siberian, Ural and North-Western districts has shown that the model works effectively in most of the territory of the Russian Federation.

Forage harvesters

Forage harvesters are a type of combined machines that are used to harvest wild and seed herbs. They contain mechanisms that facilitate cutting, harvesting and crushing the mown mass, followed by laying in windrows and loading into vehicles. In addition, these units are suitable for the production of hay and silage, when their functions are reduced to the collection of withered and already mown material from the windrows and its grinding.

Types and features of the design of combines for harvesting feed

Depending on the autonomy of the power plant, forage harvesters are:

self-propelled – they move using their own diesel engine and wheeled or tracked chassis;
trailed - articulated with the drive unit through a towbar or power take-off shaft. Aggregated with powerful tractor equipment such as MTZ;
semi-mounted - common in small agricultural firms and households, where they work in tandem with small mini tractors or even walk-behind tractors.

The diagram shows the typical internal structure of all forage harvesting machines, according to which they distinguish:

1 – separating elements;
2 – blades;
3 – reel;
4 – screw devices;
5-7 – feeders – usually 4- and 5-roller mechanisms are presented, some of them can be spring-loaded;
8 – plate;
9 – crusher;
10 – conveyor;
11 – guide pipe;
12 – spreader.

The principle of their operation is in many ways reminiscent of the operation of a classic grain harvester. Thanks to the dividers, the segment on which the bevel will occur is outlined. The knives cut the stems, which are picked up by platform headers. The harvested mass, passing through the grinding compartment and the auger, is fed to the feed rollers, the main function of which is to press and evenly lay the grass before final crushing. In drum or disk crushers, the spikelets are cut into uniform pieces, which are poured through silos into trucks.

Device

The design of the machine determines one of its most important differences - the direct movement of waste plant material from the rollers to the guide flap, as well as the high quality of grinding with maximum compactness of the cutting devices.

Engine

The engine for installation on the combine is provided by Mercedes Benz. It has:

High power – 412 hp, which gives the special vehicle the ability to operate unhindered under conditions of any severity and load size.
Large values of rotation frequency – 1800 rpm.
The ability to transmit to the combine the speed of transport movement in the general flow of up to 40 km/h.

Motion drive

Depending on the need for the machine’s functions, you can choose a modification with a transport speed of up to 25 km/h or one that can easily move along with all other road vehicles at 40 km/h:

Profistar allows you to move at a lower speed (up to 25 km/h), but makes it possible to supply maximum load at small radii of work coverage.
Speedstar is chosen by those who need to frequently move the car over fairly long distances. It reaches a maximum speed of up to 40 km/h when second gear is engaged on the highway, giving a maximum speed of up to 25 km/h when working in meadows, and a maximum of first gear of up to 16.8 km/h.

Grinding unit

Grinding of the herbal mass occurs in a chopping drum, inside of which cutting knives are located. The economical energy consumption of this device is achieved thanks to the original arrangement of the knives, which allows for a pulling shearing cut that is gentle on machine parts rather than straight. Their placement has 2 features:

They lie in pairs in identical planes.
In pairs they form a V-shape.

Engine

The basic version of the KSK 600 Polesie is equipped with a YaMZ-238AK-1 diesel engine (manufacturer: Yaroslavl Motor Plant). The power plant includes the engine itself, a radiator block with a fan and exhaust, power, cooling, lubrication and fuel supply systems. The unit is mounted on the vehicle frame using shock absorbers. The radiator block is installed in a similar way. The YaMZ-238AK-1 cooling system uses water, which can be drained through drain taps. The air entering the engine is pre-cleaned in a pre-cleaner. To clean the air flow entering the cylinders, a dry type air cleaner with paper filter cartridges is used.

Forage harvester Claas Jaguar 850

Claas Jaguar 850 is a popular German forage harvester. The model is characterized by the highest level of quality and technical performance, due to which it remains among the leaders in sales volumes. The production of this series is carried out by the well-known company Claas, based in Germany. The company has centuries of experience in producing special equipment for agriculture and is valued all over the world. Several levels of quality control provide the brand’s products with the highest reliability and long service life.

Purpose

Currently, the Klaas Jaguar 850 is one of the most popular models in the manufacturer's line. The self-propelled high-performance complex is used to mechanize the entire list of operations related to the procurement of plant feed and their processing into hay or silage. With the help of Claas Jaguar 850, the following work can be performed:

mowing grass of various types (wild plants and cultivated meadows with varying stem heights, including tall stems);
selection of windrows of pre-mown and dried grasses with subsequent grinding;
chopping the mown grass to a given length of segments;
loading the mown mass into the body of a car and transport vehicle or into trailed carts.

Modifications and features

Claas Jaguar 850 represents the brand's 800 series. The manufacturer’s line also includes the 900 series, which is positioned as more productive. However, the philosophy of constructing these models is the same: outwardly they are practically no different. Structurally, the series have many common elements, and the controls and cockpits are completely identical. The key difference is the installed motor and chopping drum. The 900 series is equipped with a V-MAX drum, and the 800 series is equipped with a V-Classic drum.

Claas Jaguar 850 is available in the following modifications:

Profistar version – the maximum transport speed is 25 km/h. Used by consumers who need maximum load at small work radii;
Speedstar variation – the maximum transport speed is 40 km/h. The best option for regular movements.

Jaguar Claes 850 is rightfully considered the most popular model of the 800th and 900th line. The reasons for the popularity of the combine lie in the features of the technology:

powerful roller drive mechanism;
ability to work with maximum load;
presence of a stone detector;
maximum safety and operating comfort;
proven Mercedes Benz engine with low fuel consumption and emissions;
a modern on-board computer that provides information about the condition of the machine and harvesting of plant matter.

These advantages allow the Claas Jaguar 850 to perform a large volume of work with the highest quality. The combine has practically no disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the high price, which makes the model inaccessible to certain consumer groups.

The tank for water (silage additives) holds up to 375 liters of liquid, the tank for the AdBlue reagent – 130 liters.

Engine

The Claas Jaguar 850 is equipped with a powerful Mercedes Benz OM 460 LA unit. The motor provides high traction at low speeds, which distinguishes it from other power plants. To bring the engine to compliance with Tier-IV/Stage-IIIB environmental standards, the AdBlue reagent is used in the exhaust gas system for cars manufactured later than the 2010s. Another feature of the unit is the elastic connection to the chassis, which ensures a minimum of vibration and noise.

The Klaas Jaguar 850 combine harvester is designed for long-term use, which is impossible without effective heat removal from the engine. In technology, radiators installed one above the other are responsible for this function. The large radiator mesh area reduces air flow speed, preventing rapid contamination. The mesh itself is in a vertical position and is cleaned by a rotating suction arm.

Engine characteristics:

working volume – 12.8 l;
rated power – 335 (455) kW (hp);
rated speed – 1800 rpm;
number of cylinders – 6.

The combine's fuel tank capacity is 1150 liters. An additional tank allows you to increase the total volume to 1450 liters. The average fuel consumption when harvesting corn is in the range of 0.9-1.2 l/1000 kg.

Some versions of the Claas Jaguar 850 are equipped with more modern 8-cylinder Mercedes Benz OM 502 engines (displacement - 15.9 liters, power - 462 hp).

Design and operating features

The main design feature of the Klaas Jaguar 850 combine is the direct movement of the crop mass after processing from the rollers to the guide gate. At the same time, the quality of grinding remains consistently high, regardless of the conditions and nature of the work. The movement of plant mass between equipment units is carried out in a completely straight line. Optionally, the model can be equipped with an additional device for grinding mature grain mass (Korn-Cracker equipment). The operator starts it if necessary to re-grind the remaining feed with grains.

The combine is controlled by a 2-speed hydrostatic automatic transmission with electronic control. The switching cannot be called smooth, which is a shortcoming of the company. All-wheel drive is optionally available.

To work effectively with various crops, the Claas Jaguar 850 is equipped with protective and regulatory systems that operate at the entrance of the mass entering the machine. These mechanisms include the Rock Stop protective system, which prevents medium and large stones from entering the working parts of the machine, the Comfort Cut device, used to adjust the size of the crushed sections, and the feed speed control system. A metal detector is installed in the front feed roller, which detects a body of any size that is capable of magnetization. The power supply is protected from damage by instantaneous shutdown. Finding the search location and removing the item will not be difficult thanks to the location indication system.

Chopping of plant or silage mass is carried out in a classic chopping drum with cutting knives. This unit in the Klaas Jaguar 850 combine is characterized by economical energy consumption, which was achieved due to the thoughtful arrangement of the knives. Instead of a straight cut, an oblique cut (shear cut) is used here. The knives themselves are installed in pairs in identical planes, forming a V-shape. Sharpening and setting of knives is performed automatically directly from the cab (the operator does not need to disassemble the device). In this case, after sharpening, the shear bar is adjusted manually.

The combine uses a 6-stage LOC (Length-Of-Chop) cutting length adjustment gearbox. The safety of the grinding device is ensured by the Quick-Stop drive brake, which stops the grinding elements if necessary. Another important feature of the unit is the ability to change the gap between the accelerator impeller and the rear panel.
