The CS150 СROSS windrower on crawler tracks is designed for mowing and laying in a swathes rice with a two-phase harvesting scheme for this crop. The windrower is used on flat fields with low soil bearing capacity (with soils of high moisture content) with a slope of up to 8º. On waterlogged lands vehicles with rubber tracks are reliable.
Comfortable cabin
The CS150 CROSS cabin offers comfortable working conditions and features such as:
- heating and air conditioning system;
- sound and vibration insulation;
- seat with many adjustments;
- athermal glass.
Simple and intuitive control of the windrower is carried out using an on-board computer, which displays all the necessary information and collects statistical data.
The steering column, together with the steering wheel, is adjustable for tilt and reach. The movement speed is controlled by a joystick on which the header and reel control buttons are located. The cabin provides comfortable working conditions for the operator for a long period of work.
Time-tested engine
The CS150 CROSS windrower is equipped with a proven and well-known to machine operators MMZ D-260 diesel engine, which provides the necessary power reserve of 150 hp. The engine is mounted on shock absorbers and attached on the windrower frame. The fuel tank with a volume of 260 liters ensures operation without refueling for up to 12 hours.
Crawler tracks
A crawler trolley with rubber-rope reinforced tracks 600 mm wide provides the necessary cross-country ability and minimizes the specific pressure on the soil in fields with low bearing capacity. The crawler drive allows you to move without restrictions on public roads, and has an increased wear resistance resource due to the absence of wear-out hinge elements and friction pairs in the design. The trolley is equipped with a mechanism for tensioning crawler tracks.
Running gear
The running gear drive of the CS150 CROSS uses hydraulic motor-wheels with planetary-type final drives, which not only improves controllability, but also, by rotating the tracks in different directions, ensures a turn in place relative to the center of the windrower.
An additional advantage of this drive unit is the absence of wear parts (frictional clutches) and minimal maintenance requirements.
Ground clearance of 640 mm allows you to harvest high-yielding, long-stemmed crops without loss.
The windrower uses a simple mechanism for hanging the header in the form of an articulated four-link, providing a cutting height from 70 to 400 mm.
The main advantages of using crawler tracks:
- increased cross-country ability, increased traction with the soil, which is achieved due to the significant advantage of the track system over the wheel in terms of contact patch area;
- the crawler tracks guarantee movement along a straight path and smooth turns even in wetlands;
- more stable operation on slopes and better stability of agricultural machines equipped with tracks compared to wheeled counterparts;
- careful attitude to the fertile soil layer. Due to the increased contact patch of the track mechanism, excessive soil compaction is eliminated, which helps maintain soil fertility and grain yields.
Headers for CS150 CROSS
The CS150 CROSS uses a swath rice header with a working width of 5 meters. The header is equipped with a fingerless cutting device with a one-way drive and a movable knife. This type of the cutting unit is designed for harsh operating conditions, providing high reliability and exceptionally clean cuts even at high operating speeds.
Conveyors ensure uniform supply of the mown mass to form a fluffy swath, which ensures optimal drying of the mown mass.
The windrower can also be aggregated with an auger header for grass harvesting with a working width of 5 m (available from 2024).
