• 40 gal fuel tank and 5 gal DEF tank

• Three-Speed hydraulic ground drive

• Hydraulic Parking Break

• Front axle with one central drive motor and mechanical differential lock

• Minimum 40bu Grain tank with hydraulic unfolding auger of minimum 13 ft height

• Sensor for filling level of the grain tank

• Hydraulic power steering

• Mechanically Foldable ladder so it is concealed into the side of the combine during operation

• 4-wheel-drive

• Reversible cooling fan to keep radiator clean during harvest

Cabin

• Fully integrated multifunctional armrest (for all buttons and switches) in driver’s seat

• Camera system with 4 cameras at following positions: weighing system, rear, straw walkers, below spout for unloading auger

• Air Ride driver seat

• A/C, heater, head lights, security glass, windshield wipers, interior and exterior lights

• Indicators, horn and lights for road use

• adjustable steering column (inclination as well as height)

Cleaning and Threshing System

• Threshing Drum/Straw walker system

• concave clearance must be hydraulically adjustable

• Tangential threshing system with synchronized (speed) straw beater/stripper

• Threshing cylinder speed adjustable between 260-1600 rpm

• Minimum Torque of 540 Nm on threshing cylinder for high performance threshing in high moisture corn

• Minimum threshing cylinder diameter 450mm and 800mm channel width

• Concave Wrap Angle of 135° or higher with a separation surface of 4.8 sq ft or higher

• Minimum of 4 straw walkers with a separation surface of 21 sq ft or more

• 2-step cleaning surface with minimum of 23 sq ft cleaning area to ensure clean samples. This will enable the weighing system to provide high quality data

• Hydraulically driven cleaning fan with quick adjustment from cabin, RPM of 450 – 1800

Feederhouse and cutting platform:

• Chain Feeder-house to ensure high capacity in high moisture conditions

• Easy Feeder-house dismounting within 15 min

• 2 Row 30” Corn Header

• Driveline to constantly provide a minimum of 40 hp for the corn header

• Reverse Mechanism for corn header

• Emergency Stop for Header

Weighing and sampling:

• Harvestmaster H2 HighCapacity Weighing system to collect weight, moisture and test weight

• Weighing System needs to slide out completely for easy moisture calibration without operating combine (engine turned off for safety during calibration)

• Industrial Tablet with Mirus weighing system software including field plan

• switch to deliver either to the weighing system or to the grain tank

Combine Size:

• Length: Max. 21.5 ft

• Height: Max. 10.5 ft

• Wheel Base: Max. 9.5 ft

• Weight: Max. 15000 lbs

Maintenance:

• Operator Manual and Partsbook

• Tool Kit and Fire Extinguisher

• Simple “Electric over Hydraulic”- System to ensure local mechanics can diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical issues

• No phase out model, offered model needs to be available in the U.S. for a minimum of 3 more years to ensure long term parts and service ability

• Hydraulic operations over belt solutions to reduce down time, combine should not have more than 7 belts, Self-tensioning drive belts preferred

• 1 Full Day Training by Weighing System manufacturer

• 1 year of Warranty

• Delivery to Clayton, NC

Reference Clients

• Vendor needs to provide five public research institutions working with vendors’ equipment as reference (including phone no. and Email Address)
