Popular models of Vector combine harvesters from Rostselmash: owner reviews, characteristics

“Vector” is one of the first series of combines produced by the famous Russian company.
Mainly covers self-propelled grain harvesters with single-drum chopping system. Vector combines are considered an older analogue of Akros combined machines, although in terms of their functional characteristics they are in no way inferior to their younger brother. The only thing worth paying attention to is the amount of work: the Vector series combines are less suitable for harvesting crops in large farmlands. To this day, their assembly and production is carried out in Rostov, although foreign units are also involved in this.

Combined Vector machines are adapted to a wide range of adapters, which will allow them to work effectively not only during the grain harvest season, but also almost all year round. In addition, auxiliary attachments will solve the problem of harvesting other agricultural plants from the group of long-stemmed (sunflower) and legumes (soybeans), in addition to the main ones - barley and wheat.

Features of Vector combines

• spacious combine operator cabin with large glass area;
• simplified access to diesel engine systems;
• reinforced belt variators for longer service life;
• threshing system with stationary decks;
• increased size chopper;
• arched wheel part with chambers that do not create strong pressure on the soil layer and allow them to move over soil of any moisture capacity;
• accurate copying of the terrain, which allows Vector agricultural machines to move across uneven fields with rocky impurities.

Harvester systems

The factories of the group of companies, which includes Rostselmash, are located in Russia, Europe and the USA. These factories use innovative technologies and carefully control finished products. The combine uses systems and mechanisms manufactured at the factories of the above-mentioned group of companies:

• Power Stream - header controlled from the cab;
• Level Glide - hydromechanical system for taking into account uneven terrain;
• Jam Control - a system that eliminates clogging of the thresher with grain mass;

Driver's cabin

The Vector 101 combine harvester has a very comfortable operator’s workplace. The cabin is sprung, and therefore the resulting vibration is almost completely damped. The degree of sound insulation also pleases users. The chair can be adjusted to suit any person's height. In summer you can use an air conditioner, and in winter you can use a heater. External lighting fixtures and impressively sized panoramic glass allow the driver to work without problems even at night and fully control all the processes occurring outside the window.

General description. What's new?

Even at the initial stage of design, the designers abandoned the usual drawings, and instead used a modern computer-aided design system, taking into account international experience. This approach made it possible to improve the reliability of combine components and blocks, as well as increase productivity.

For the Vector 410, the designers used an innovative layout: cabin - bunker - engine, which, on the one hand, increased the sound insulation of the cabin and made the work of the combine operator more comfortable. On the other hand, the location of the cab in the center increased the visibility of the header not only during the day, but also at night with powerful lighting from six halogen headlights.

The greatest economic efficiency of using a combine is achieved when processing approximately 750 hectares per season and a yield of 50 centners per hectare. Travel speed is about 12 km/h. Grain losses do not exceed 1%, and the degree of damage is extremely low. This is ensured by two stages of grain cleaning and a final grinding device. With low air humidity, grain can be delivered for sale without additional cleaning, since the presence of impurities in the bunker is 5 times lower than normal. The maximum volume of the grain tank is 6 cubic meters.

Changing the volume and controlling the roof is done from the combine operator’s workplace. Bunker productivity is increased due to longer operating time between grain unloadings. The machine has the ability to unload with a humidity of more than 30%. The basic package includes an air compressor and a 110-liter receiver for servicing the combine at the end of each shift.

Design

The Vector combine is distinguished by a modern layout, which has the following diagram: cabin - bunker - motor. This feature allows you to significantly reduce the noise level in the cabin that occurs during machine operation. Also, the engine maintenance area has become larger in size, making access to the engine convenient. In addition, the cabin was located in the center of the combine. The driver therefore has a good overview of the work area.

The presence of a single hydraulic connector greatly facilitates the connection of various adapters and reduces the time of this procedure. The high-inertia drum of the combine is the largest in the world among this type of equipment. However, it is not only its size that makes it stand out. Excellent adaptability to difficult fields also gives him leadership. The residual separation system guarantees minimal grain losses and a high level of grain purity.
