Chassis
Compact on the road and stable in the field
- High-volume standard 850/50 R30.5 tyres for minimum ground pressure and utmost stability
- Manoeuvrability due to steering angle of 21 degrees on both sides
- Road drive with a transport width of 3 metres and harvesting with an external width of 3.5 metres
- Telescopic axle with extendable telescopic rail for optimum stability in the field
- Automatic hydraulic inclination compensation for a constant horizontal alignment of the Keiler, i.e. uniform cleaning also on the side slope
- Faster and more comfortable telescoping of the axle
- Significantly more powerful steering
Improved automatic hydraulic slope levelling for optimised cleaning and greater comfort for pickers
Drive wheel
Comfortable and powerful for extreme harvesting conditions
Movement and manoeuvring made easy! The ROPA Keiler 2 can be equipped with a drive wheel for increased traction and soil protection even under extremely difficult harvesting conditions. Even with this optional equipment with high-volume
850/50 R 30.5 tyres the road transport width is just 3.00 metres.
The integrated freewheel of the axle enables speeds of up to 40 km/h when driving on the road.
A maximum torque up to 14,500 Nm can be achieved at the wheel for a thrust of 2 tons. Coupling and uncoupling is possible while driving
is possible while moving. The maximum speed with a coupled drive wheel is
up to 14 km/h.
The new and practical automatic operation using tractors with ISOBUS is a convenient and elegant solution. The drive wheel is automatically actuated in the applicable direction of travel during start-up and controlled synchronously, then switched off again when stopped. A significant advantage, because it is not necessary to switch, stop or switch the drive wheel to reverse separately while moving or starting.
The maximum power consumption in boost operation is 65 kW.
Despite the large-volume 850/50 R30.5 tyres, the steering angle is identical to the original axle and amounts to +/- 21 degrees.
