The operator assistance systems AUTO CROP FLOW, which controls the crop flow, and AUTO SLOPE, which adjusts the fan speed, are now also available in these combine harvesters, along with a grain tank capacity of up to 11,000 l. The TUCANO 580 is the new top-of-the range model in this series.
Climb aboard and get to work
The new CEBIS terminal, in combination with the redesigned armrest, allows the operator to control all the key functions of the combine harvester intuitively – without any previous knowledge of the machine. CEBIS can be controlled as before by means of a control panel, but also through direct access to the functions on the touchscreen. A touch of a finger on the threshing unit, for example, activates the user-friendly dialog for adjusting the drum speed. Here, too, the operator makes the adjustment intuitively – in the familiar way that settings on a smartphone are adjusted. All the key machine functions can also be adjusted directly by means of switches on the armrest. CEBIS complements this quick access mode with a favourites management system, in which the operator defines specific machine control functions which can then be called up very quickly when required via buttons on the CMOTION multifunction control lever.
Optimal visibility under all conditions is ensured by a wide range of terminal adjustment options. It can pivot from its normal position in the operator's field of vision completely to the right, next to the armrest. This means that the operator still has an optimal view over the entire front attachment even when working at the edge of the field or in laid crops.
MONTANA side-slope levelling
For the first time, five TUCANO models are available ex factory as MONTANA variants. This system compensates for slide slope inclines of up to 16%, or up to 18% for the TUCANO 560 and 430. In the field, all the functions run automatically with the current tilt and cutting angle displayed in CEBIS. The MONTANA models are equipped with a 2-speed manual transmission with automatic adjustment of the engine load. In both gears there are two drive ranges which are selected on the basis of the load on the ground drive. No manual selection is necessary, the machine switches automatically to the lower drive range when high traction is required. The new all-wheel-drive axle in the MONTANA models provides up to 70 % more tractive power compared with the standard all-wheel-drive axle. A differential lock for the front axle is available as an option. Side-slope levelling is available for the APS HYBRID TUCANO 580, 570 and 560 machines as well as for the APS 6-walker TUCANO 450 and the APS 5-walker TUCANO 430.
