Technical highlights

The proven flywheel system

The combination of precompression feed rollers, exact chopped length with the flywheel and corn cracker guarantees top quality material. All stalks and leaves are finelychopped and grains pulverised for effective rumination. MEX forage harvesters – acknowledged the world over as the benchmark for best chopping quality.

Flywheel

Flywheel with 10 centrally-adjustable knives, ideal chopping distance is quickly set.
High chute (up to 15.58' / 4.75 m) and high blowing power plus coated blowing paddles.
Tungsten-carbide coating on knives and shear bar for smooth and precise chop. The shear bar is also tungsten-carbide coated and reversible.
Mounting and adjustment functions are separate for rapid replacement without aff ecting setting.
Wear plates in the forager housing can be replaced cost-eff ectively before damage occurs tohousing, important on abrasive soils.

Service - friendly

Service - friendly

Precise sharpening of the knives takes only a few minutes with the integrated grinding disc. On the MEX 5 the flywheel can be reversed for sharpening.
The header is quickly removed and the feed system simply folded away. Shear bar and feed rollers are easily accessible for cleaning and servicing.

Corn cracker – more nutrients from maize

Corn cracker

Exceptional quality forage in all harvesting conditions. Rapid adaptation to new crop: allows conversion to harvest green maize in no time.

Three key components:

Deflector behind each knife
Adjustable, rasped-surface blowing paddles.
Long, sectioned cracker plate, can easily be replaced with smooth plates

Row-independent header

The huge blowing power of the flywheel ensures trailers are filled up right into the furthest corner. The grinding disc is standard equipment and the flywheel can be adjusted centrally, because only sharp knives and a close chopping distance ensure a tidy, smooth chop. Unrivalled stability, long service life and reliable technology designed for coverage of large areas.

Row-independent header

Working width 6.56' / 2.0 m (3 rows spaced 2.30' / 0.7 m apart).
The header is mounted so that it can move up and down independently of the base unit for best ground hugging, lowest working height 0.44' / 135 mm.
Powered by a direct drive system, the aggressive rings of teeth on the intake drums ensure loss-free feed in even the most challenging harvest conditions.
High ground clearance (1.90' / 580 mm) for road transport and headland turns.
Mechanically-driven feed augers on both sides as standard.
Mounting: Pivoting drawbar attached to linkage bar between lower links, clevis can be adjusted +/- 0.65' / 200 mm longitudinally. Hydraulic parking stand

Detailed information

MEX 6 – the trailed high-performance forager

MEX 6

Hydraulically adjustable pivoting drawbar – change between transport position and working position without leaving the driver’s seat.
Energy-saving power transmission using PTO, drive shaft and power band.
PTO speed 1000 rpm, flywheel speed 800 rpm.
Chassis with hydraulically adjustable individual wheel suspension for working position and transport position, combined with header.
Tyres 340/55-16.

Rugged feed system
Three different chopped lengths can be quickly set using the three-step belt drive, equipped with hydraulic reversing gear as standard. Individual overload protection on each driveshaft to the feed rollers.

Perfect compression roller control
The two upper rollers are spring-loaded to reliably draw in every type of crop. The 1.54' / 470 mm-wide intake channel is critical to achieve high capacity intake. The two upper rollers can move completely independently of each other. This ensures continuous compression of the forage right up to the shear bar. Maize is heavily compressed by the four feed rollers.

Hydraulically folding chute

Continuous arc for consistent flow of forage.
Hydraulic chute rotation (up to 270°) and flap adjustment.
Chute extension supplied as standard for high transport vehicles. Chute height 15.58' / 4.75 m for 13.12' / 4.0 m-high transport vehicles.
Can be folded for low clearances; no tools required. Access platform and two cleaning points provided as standard.

Direct Control

Electronic DIRECT CONTROL operator panel as standard:

Control panel with metal casing and membrane-covered keypad, easy to install with mounting magnet.
Direct control of: Raise / lower angle of header in relation to chassis, Rotate chute, Fold flap, Reverse feed system, Pivot drawbar.
Hydraulic connections required: One single-acting remote with pressure-free return for Direct Control (suitable for closed, open or load-sensing hydraulics). One single-acting remote for parking stand.
