Windrower KSU-1 

Pneumatic system

Since 2014, the vehicles in basic set with D-260 engines are equipped with pneumatic system, in order to improve the machine autonomous features. It consists of 100 L receiver and compressor with automatic maintaining of pressure from 4 up to 8 bar, convenient tools and quick-disconnect clutch for connection, what makes operator’s work much easier. The air reserve in the system at running engines is enough for 5 minutes, what is sufficient for scheduled maintenance works performing.

Mounted universal system

It provides aggregation of all adapters with universal self-propelled windrower KSU 1, without application of replaceable or additional parts. Therefore, the aggregation will take less than 15 minutes. It is widely known, that tractor hitch, consisting of lifting levers and lower longitudinal rods connected between each other by bracing of central rod and hydraulic cylinder, does not provide the field relief copying by reapers, what reduces the total effectiveness of operation.

Hydraulics

The universal self-propelled mower uses new decisions directed to improvement of reliability and convenience of maintenance. The integrated hydraulic tank for all systems (50 L) simplified design and improves convenience of maintenance. Availability of varying capacity pump provides much economical consumption of power taken off the engine. The fuel economy rate of the engine is increased. The integrated hydraulic control tank is used.

Adapters drive

DF 900 and DF 700 roller transporting reaper is driven hydraulically, because there are no peak loads. It allows to adjust the reaper operating parameters (transporter speed, swath arrangement and reaper rpm) from the operator’s seat. The drive of adapters (GH 500c compacting mower, DM 350c frontal rotary mower, and JS 270 mounted mower-shredder) is performed through PTO installed on the vehicle.

Adviser system

The universal self-propelled mower uses modern electrical equipment and on-board computer – Adviser system - which is targeted for convenient materiel maintenance and application.

- Collection and processing of information on condition of the machine systems and aggregates, output of the parameters on screen.
- Counting, storing and outputting the KSU quality parameters (operating time, travel, harvested area).
- Informing on necessity of repair or scheduled maintenance.
- Recording of consumed fuel.

Chassis drive

The chassis drive on KSU is made in the form of motor-wheels. Portal design of driving and driven axles with harvesting clearance of 1000mm provides required transporting clearance. KSU can travel over any swaths without any problem. The adjustable axle of balancing type with rocking angle ±8° possesses improved stability and maneuverability, especially when crossing channels and exiting the field to road.

Copying system

The feature of patented relief copying system applied on the universal self-propelled mower is providing of field relief copying in longitudinal and lateral directions by all reapers proposed with the aggregate, thus increasing of their operating effectiveness. All the reapers connecting points are unified to provide maximum convenience and minimum aggregating time.

Controlled rear axle

The universal self-propelled mower design uses controlled rear axle system of portal type with two hydraulic cylinders and steering trapezoid. The controlled rear axle improves maneuverability of the machine in any field conditions. Original design of steering trapezoid has ability to turn actually on site, travel forward and backward without losing the control.
