Super matic The patented power saving system Super matic The loading combs are split in the middle for "patented" low resistance: the blanket of crop is grasped and chopped in an offset action but is conveyed as a single blanket. There is no peak stress on the knives either. Smooth loading system PROFI GP / ERNTEBOSS 4 split loading combs, 31 knives Because the loading comb bars are split in the middle the stress is distributed over more cam rollers and a larger cam control surface. The wide conveyor duct protects the crop and guarantees highest loading performance. Each knife cuts the crop exactly between the dual tines. The cam tracks at each end are circular and ensure smooth, jolt-free running and a long service life. The pickup and loading system are equipped with automatic transmission for reversing.
