Fendt introduce the SuperLevel C Series harvester: Here are 5 things you need to know
Farm land can be found draped over various kinds of terrain. Ideally one would want their farm land to be on a flat surface. This makes ploughing and harvesting relatively easy. Unfortunately this luxury is not always guaranteed. Agricultural machine manufactures need to adapt their offerings to cope with the ever changing terrain demands of their customers. The new Fendt 5275 C SL combine harvester has been developed mainly for extremely hilly regions. Here are 5 things that you should know.
1. It can handle the slopes
The Fendt 5275 C SL (SuperLevel) is designed for extreme slopes with a 38% horizontal incline. The Fendt 5275 C SL is characterised by its unique vertical and horizontal slope compensation. The SuperLevel slope correction compensates for an additional 35% vertical tilt uphill and up to 10% downhill.
2. How does it work?
The driver adjusts the slope compensation on the terminal and hydraulic valves carry out the task. With slope compensation activated, the threshing mechanism, grain tank, separator, cleaning system, as well as the driver's cab are always horizontal. Thanks to the new chassis concept, the chassis adapts the machine to the steep conditions. The tilt in the direction of travel is adjusted by means of two hydraulic cylinders.
3. It remains comfortable
Being based on the C Series of harvesters the Fendt 5275 C SL is equipped with the comfort package as standard. This means that a state-of-the-art comfort seat with air suspension features. The machine is also fitted with automatic climate control as standard for those long days in the hot sun.
4. Stay connected
The Fendt Connect telemetry system is available as an option on the Fendt C and L-series combine harvesters to analyse and manage machine job data. The system reads, stores and evaluates machine data and shares it via the mobile network. As well as details about the machine's position, it also collects extensive CAN bus data from the combine harvester. When used on a PC or via smart device, the vehicle owner can retrieve a wide range of information, including a map view showing the position and driving route of the combine harvester.
5. Specially developed headers
Special headers were developed for the Fendt 5275 C SL from the FreeFlow and PowerFlow series. The special feature on these headers is the top-positioned PTO. That's how it achieves its 38% horizontal levelling.
