Calabria is a row-independent double-chop forage harvester designed for efficient collection and extra-fine chopping of withered grass and other forage crops. It combines a patented rotor and flywheel system to improve chopping consistency and provide high blowing capacity. Available in DOUBLE CHOP 1500, 1800 and 2100 versions to match different working widths and capacities.
Key features- Designed for withered grass: picks up material from the ground and produces fine, homogeneous chopped forage suitable for silage.
- Patented rotor system: specially shaped rotor blades pre-chop material and reduce losses before delivery to the flywheel.
- Patented flywheel system: widened blowing pallets and a patented blade arrangement increase blowing capacity and produce finer chopping.
- Automatic knife sharpening: sharpening mechanism mounted on a cast body reduces vibration and sharpens the full blade surface parallel to the chopper flywheel.
- Heavy-duty components: Çelikel-designed 20.000-series bearings used on flywheel, rotor, shafts and auger for durability in vibrating conditions.
- Hydraulic configurations: available tractor-dependent and tractor-independent hydraulic systems to suit different installations.
- Flexible mounting: row-independent machine compatible with front, rear and side mounting on a range of tractors.
- Adjustable cutting: cutting size adjustable 20–70 mm and cutting height adjustable 50–150 mm; PTO options typically 540/750/1000 rpm depending on configuration.
Applications- Harvesting and fine-chopping withered grass and forage crops for silage preparation to improve packing and feed quality.
