New 8000 Series Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters

Foreign the new 8000 series self propelled forage harvesters are beyond forward thinking. They're the result of forage thinking. 3 All new models ranging from 483 to 832 horsepower complete the 8000 series family and deliver reliability, excellent cutting performance and more profitability. The all new Cab has improved comfort and visibility and easier access to controls. A redesigned crop flow with a larger feed roll opening, improved power transfer and crop path through the machine delivers greater efficiency during chopping and there will be no more bunch feeding because of misadjusted headers. With the automatic or independent header speed adjustment and beyond agronomic design that moves crop through the machine more efficiently, the 8000 series delivers technology that allows you to increase operator productivity and make long chopping days easier. Active Fill Control uses a camera with 3D capability to automatically detect the crop transport truck or trailer and fill it evenly and without spillage. As the camera detects a truck, it automatically begins tracking with the spout. Then it controls the rotation and cap position of the spout until the truck is filled. When combined With AutoTrack or Rowsense, active fill control ensures you don't have to worry about steering the machine or aiming the spout, leaving you free to focus on other tasks like Data Management. With JDLink Connect, you can wirelessly send the documentation data from your machine to the operations center where it can quickly be analyzed and shared with your trusted advisors. The KernelStar kernel processor now features an up to 50% larger disc diameter and the same new adjustment mechanism and stronger springs as the roller processors. The patented design has two key advantages over straight edged or cylindrical roller kernel processes. Beveled discs smash every kernel for maximum starch release and higher nutrient value and it has a higher throughput so you can cut faster even in heavy tall crop. And now, in addition to measuring dry matter content, the expanded harvest lab constituent sensing capabilities can predict crude protein, starch and fiber which are important nutrient factors in livestock feed. So you can make quick decisions about crop conditions to ensure the best forage quality and high quality feed is what you and your customers demand. The 8000 series takes serviceability to a new level with an integrated KP hoist, easy header hookup and ground level fuel fill. And of course, the 8000 series is backed by the strongest parts and service network in the business to keep you chopping when it's time to harvest. See your dealer today to learn more.
