For the row-independent ORBIS 750 and 900 maize headers, CLAAS now offers a transport system which is integrated in the front attachment, so it is always ready for action. It is convenient and easy to operate from the driver's cab of the JAGUAR forage harvester.
This new transport system allows the large front attachments to be transported conveniently and safely on roads and tracks, while also complying with the statutory total weights and axle loads for the forage harvester. During field changes, there is no need to carry out time-consuming set-up procedures, so the whole chopping process is more efficient.
Shocks from uneven surfaces or potholes on roads and tracks are absorbed by the transport system and compensated for by the additional hydraulic pressure control in the front attachment lifting rams. Even increased loads caused by heavy braking are automatically absorbed by the transport system. This allows the front axle load of the JAGUAR to be maintained in any and every situation.
Operation
For road travel, the side units of the header are folded over one another and the safety devices are installed. The driver presses the road travel switch in the cab of the JAGUAR, thereby activating the integrated transport system. The positions of the attachment and transport system do not initially change. The driver must first bring the JAGUAR to a ground speed of at least 2 km/h and press the AUTO CONTOUR ground pressure button on the ground speed control lever. Then the ORBIS automatically adjusts to the transport height and the transport system extends. After a short adjustment phase, the vibration damper (red symbol in the CEBIS control terminal) is fully active (symbol changes to green).
Pressing the road travel switch again at a ground speed of at least 2 km/h, or during folding, deactivates the transport system. It automatically retracts to the park position and the ORBIS is ready for use in the field again. When the front attachment is not attached, the transport system is retracted and the ORBIS rests on its skids. No additional stands are required.
The new transport system is authorised for road travel up to 40 km/h and approved for the JAGUAR 900 with the ORBIS 900 and ORBIS 750 as well as for the JAGUAR 800 with the ORBIS 750. Approval for the ORBIS 750 depends on the equipment. With the ORBIS 900 the transport system must always be used. The system can be retrofitted on the existing ORBIS 750 (in combination with a JAGUAR 800) and ORBIS 900. The new transport system replaces the previous road running gear for the ORBIS.
