Towed forage harvester Calabria 1800

Overview
The Calabria forage harvester is a double-chop silage machine engineered to pick up withered grass from the ground, perform extra-fine chopping and deliver high blowing capacity for rapid filling and consistent forage quality. It combines a patented rotor and a patented flywheel/blade layout to reduce losses and optimize chopping performance.

Key features

• Patented rotor system with specially shaped blades that pre-chop material and feed it to the flywheel in an optimized flow.
• Patented flywheel with widened blowing pallets and a dedicated blade arrangement for finer chopping and higher blowing capacity.
• Automatic knife sharpening integrated with the chopper flywheel; cast body design reduces vibration and provides uniform sharpening across the blade surface.
• Extra-fine chopping capability for withered grass, with adjustable cutting length to meet feed specifications.
• Row-independent design compatible with multiple tractor mounting positions (front, rear, side).
• PTO / transmission options: typical PTO 540 rpm; tractor transmission options include 540, 750 and 1000 rpm.
• Adjustable cutting height and cut length to adapt to field and feed requirements.

Applications

• Harvesting and fine-chopping withered or standing grass for silage production (double-chop configuration).
• Situations requiring high blowing capacity, uniform chop size and flexible tractor mounting options.
