Honey Bee WS Grain Belt Swather Series

 

Features

  • Remote Draper Speed Control
    Draper speeds are hydraulically controlled in-cab, and are adjustable up to 800 rpm. Remote draper speed control gives you the power to quickly adjust draper speeds for varying crop conditions.

  • Polyester Drapers
    42″ (106.7 cm) drapers are made of long-lasting, rubberized polyester with fibreglass-reinforced slats and are V-guided to eliminate manual draper tracking.

  • Draper Drive
    The 3″ (7.6 cm) diameter drive rollers provide traction in heavy crop conditions. Powered from the outside by a hydraulic motor, the drapers move the crop towards the centre for more uniform feeding.

  • Reel Drive
    The hydraulically driven reel is easily controlled using standard in-cab controls. In-cab controls allow for quick reel adjustment in changing crop conditions.

  • Hydraulic Header Tilt
    No-wrench header tilt adjustment for header tilt control in varying crop conditions.

  • SCH Cutting System
    The SCH Easy Cut Cutting System provides smooth, superior cutting. Spring steel guards with cutting edges on top and bottom, along with alternating, bolted, heat-treated sections, eliminate the need for hold downs. The system keeps dirt and debris from accumulating under the knives for increased performance in severe cutting conditions.

  • Knife Drive
    The knife is driven by a 3 5/16″ (8.4 cm) stroke, epicyclic knife drive which operates from 1,100–1,400 strokes per minute. The knife drive is driven by a low maintenance hydraulic drive motor. Double knife drive systems are available optional equipment on 25′, 30′ and 36′ models. Standard equipment on 21′.

  • Fore/Aft Reel Adjustment
    A hydraulic adjustment with in-cab control is available for fore/aft positioning for on-the-go response to changing crop conditions with a 16″ operating range.

  • Skid Plates
    UHMW skid plates are standard on all models to protect the cutterbar when cutting crops close to the ground.

  • Swath Opening
    Standard swath opening is 81″ +/- 3″. Double swath standard opening of 46″ +/- 6″. Standard swath opening may be decreased by 14″ or 28″ on some models.

  • Draper Tension and Tracking
    The canvas can be adjusted for tracking and tightening, which allows for even tension on both the front and rear of the rollers. A quick release lever allows for ease of canvas and roller cleaning.

  • Easy Hook-up Lift Arm Extensions
    Lift arm extensions attach to the windrower lift arm using a bolt. The lift arm assembly attaches to the swather using a “no-wrench” single pin attachment. New arms provide for an easy attachment and detachment of the table.

  • Integral Storage Transport
    The self-contained transport, including hitch, jack and axle, is conveniently stored on the swather table.

  • Hay Guard
    The Hay guard ensures a smooth transition from knife to draper and reduces material wrapping on the rollers.
