Description
VSS AMAC ONION STOCK HARVESTER (VRU)
A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN ONION GROWING
Through years of development and practical experience, the VSS AMAC Stock Harvesters have become a household name in onion growing (VRU) and
potato cultivation (VRA)
at home and abroad. The Onion Stock Harvester (VRU) comes standard as a very complete machine and is always equipped for rear mounting. Optionally, the VRU is available as a half-worn version. In combination with the
VSS AMAC Onion haulm topper (LKU)
haulm topping, harvesting and swath laying is done in one pass.
A VERSATILE ONION STORAGE HARVESTER
The entire machine is driven by PTO. All VRU drives are covered by hoods. Safety comes first! The chain drives are equipped with chain tensioners. In addition, the standard VRU has a driven square lifting axle, but a plucked lifting axle is also available as an option. Advantage of a plucked grub axle: even force distribution on the bearing. Both the grub shaft and bearing are quickly and easily replaced. This reduces downtime during the season. The machine is further equipped with two harvesting discs with a diameter of 600 mm. The depth is easily adjusted by two manually adjustable wheels. Optional hydraulic and automatic depth control is available.
DRIVE OF BAR BELTS
The VRU comes standard with two bar bands of pitch 42 mm and bars with a diameter of 10.5 mm. Optional other stitches, bar diameters and trim are available. There is a driven beater shaft in both the first and second bars. The intensity of the beater shaft can is adjustable with a lever with a halt lock. The VRU features a powered twisted feed pinion over the entire working width. Because the feed pinion is torsioned there is no opening across the entire width, this reduces leakage.
SWATH LAYING WITH VARIOUS OPTIONS
Under the VSS AMAC onion harvester runs a height-adjustable plastic windrow roller, which pushes the windrow evenly. The machine places the onions back onto the windrow by means of plastic windrow guide plates combined with an adjustable windrow sled. Optional other deposition is possible through a bunker or side deposition. See all possible options for VRU further down this page.
