Fendt Autodock™

Connecting couldn’t be simpler. Or faster. Or easier. Fendt Autodock™ automatically couples the attachment within 5 seconds, setting standards in terms of ease of use. You don't even have to leave the driver's seat. Once the attachment is added, 4 hydraulic cylinders complete the connection. A hydraulic cylinder in the middle of the feederhouse frame mechanically locks the attachment. At the same time, two couplings push out to connect the PTO drives. AutoDock connects the multicoupler separately to the attachment and the machine. An RFID code, the “Ag tag,” detects the attachment and retrieves the last setting used for that unit.

Take it all in with the 9300 Series DynaFlex Headers. Available in widths from 30’ to 50’, the 9300 provides improved feeding with variable – speed gathering belt drive to promote smooth, even and efficient feeding in various conditions. With accumulators that absorb movement and increases response performance to increase the cutter bar coverage and flexibility up to 8” of cutter bar float. With dual mechanical cutter bar drives and a redesigned skid shoe providing enhanced durability for a better footprint on the soil, reducing wear while still providing the low cut height.

Improve residue management in your fields with the 3300 series corn head, available in chopping and nonchopping models. The stalk rolls are designed with point-to-point contact for increased aggression, while the chopping units will break down the stalks into smaller segments to promote better residue coverage. The slanted deck plate design helps strip the ears from the stalk more aggressively, decreasing butt-loss and kernel loss. To pick up down and tangled corn, the long, shallow snoots can handle even the toughest of harvesting conditions. The 3300 Command series corn head is designed for integration of Reichardt row sending and Headsight header height sensors.

The Helix Processor: simply unique

All components of the rotors such as the rasp bars and rotor tines are arranged in four rows like a helix. The front part of the rotors consists of 4 rasp bars installed lengthways which thresh the grain. The concaves are available in different configurations for the best results in any application. The clearance between the concave and rotor is hydraulically adjusted up to a maximum of 1.38 inches. The rotor tines are tilted 20° to the rear, which divides the crop into the helix sections and reliably and gently runs it around the rotor. This prevents unexpected load peaks on the rotor and eliminates edges for the product to stick to.

The 24” diameter RotorFeeder feeding drum passes a constant flow of crop to the rotors, guaranteeing optimal transfer and the best threshing results. The RotorFeeder speed is automatically controlled in proportion to the rotor speed – always at 70% of the rotor speed. The speed is adjusted to best match the rotor speed and the large transfer area, maintaining straw quality. The RotorFeeder also uses far less power during this process.
