Corn cracker – more nutrients from maize

• Exceptional quality forage in all harvesting conditions.
• Rapid adaptation to new crop: allows conversion to harvest green maize in no time.

Three key components:

• Deflector behind each knife.
• Adjustable, rasped-surface blowing paddles.
• Long, sectioned cracker plate, can easily be replaced with smooth plates.

The right chopped has to be quickly and easily adjusted to current operating conditions.

• Three different chopped lengths can be quickly set using the three-step belt drive, equipped with hydraulic reversing gear as standard.
• Individual overload protection on each driveshaft to the feed rollers.

• Control panel with metal casing and membrane-covered keypad, easy to install with mounting magnet.
• Direct control of: Raise / lower angle of header in relation to chassis , Rotate chute, Fold flap, Reverse feed system, Pivot drawbar.
• Hydraulic connections required: One single-acting remote with pressure-free return for DIRECT CONTROL (suitable for closed, open or load-sensing hydraulics).

• Continuous arc for consistent flow of forage.
• Hydraulic chute rotation and flap adjustment. Chute rotation up to 270°.
• Chute height 4.80 m for 4.0 m-high transport vehicles.
• Can be folded hydraulically for low clearances; no tools required.
• Access platform and two cleaning points provided as standard.

The maize header enables you to harvest independently of rows or row spacing. As a result the MEX 5 offers manoeuvrable operation like a self-propelled harvester, either with the maize header or pick-up. The MEX 6 is the flexible trailed forager for maize and grass. Tractors up to 220 hp can therefore be utilized very cost-effectively and logistics are extremely easy to organise between the field and the silo.

• Working width 2.0 m (3 rows spaced 0.7 m apart)
• The header is mounted so that it can move up and down independently of the forager for best ground tracking.
• Lowest working height 135 mm.
• Powered by a direct drive system,
• the aggressive rings of teeth on the intake drums ensure loss-free feed in even the most challenging harvest conditions.
• High ground clearance (580 mm) for road transport and headland turns.
• Mechanically-driven feed augers on both sides as standard.

PÖTTINGER bring their vast grassland machinery engineering experience to bear in the MEX 6. The well-proven Pöttinger flywheel design ensures maximum performance and renowned reliability. A choice of drive speeds means that the MEX 6 is suitable for tractors with a PTO output from as little as 100 hp right up to a maximum of 220 hp. Precision chop forage harvesters fitted with big diameter, heavy flywheels are capable of storing high reserves of kinetic energy. This stored energy enables them to power through heavy, lump swaths with ease and without loss of tractor power. MEX flywheel foragers also run quietly and smoothly with less wear.

• The 1.90 m pick-up is standard.
• For grass harvesting, flywheel speeds need to run constantly at 800 or 620 rpm. This is achieved by ordering the correct power band and drive pulley kit for the tractor hp available.
• The standard speed is 590 rpm, while a kit is also available for 620 rpm.
• Chop lengths 11 / 15 / 19 mm
• Chassis with 340/55-16 tyres.

• Energy-saving power transmission using power band for flywheel speed of 800 rpm.
• Standard chop lengths 5 / 7 / 9 mm, grain cracker.
• 1.90 m pick-up as an option with adapter kit for flywheel speed of 590 rpm with chop lengths 11 / 15 / 19 mm.
• Hydraulically adjustable pivoting drawbar – change between transport position and working position without leaving the driver’s seat.
• Chassis with hydraulically adjustable individual wheel suspension for working position and transport position, combined with header. Tyres 340/55-16.
• Pivoting hitch drawbar attached to linkage bar between lower links, clevis can be adjusted +/- 200 mm longitudinally.
