2024 John Deere Self-Propelled Forage Harvester Pickups 659

4.5 m (16.9 ft.) pick-up features special auger flights that go all the way to the middle

Designed to be compatible with all 8000 Series SPFH models

Features may include:

• The crop is carried to the middle of the pickup by the auger, and due to endless flighting, there is a smooth transition into the feedrolls which helps crop flow and quality of cut.

• Crop is more evenly distributed over the full channel width.

• The advantage of the John Deere self-propelled forage harvesters (SPFH) is that the speed of the pickup changes if the length of cut (LOC) is changed. This has enormous benefits for the producer.

• For example, if the LOC is set longer, the header is also driven faster, which means the crop is fed faster towards the SPFH. This increase results in a more even crop flow and better feeding of the SPFH.

• The speed of the pickup is constantly monitored with a speed sensor in the driveline. There are drive options to allow the individual speed of the pickup reel and auger to better adapt to varying field conditions.

• The gauge wheels can turn 360 degrees; therefore, they are very easy on the soil. The large tire diameter performs well on wet ground.

• The wheels perfectly follow the ground contours and do not work the soil; they can turn unlimited in field corners.
