We are going to speak about another crop which is not planted in our area: sugar beet. Even today, we can remember how some farmers worked the sugar beet about 20 years ago when, in general, this crop was profitable in Spain. We spent a really interesting day visiting a company in Íscar (Valladolid) which works this crop.
This company owns two tractors to take out and clean the sugar beet. The Fendt 718 as you can see in our pictures and a Valtra (it was not working that day). As workers told us, the Valtra works better than Fendt in this job because their Valtra tractor has a powershift gearbox and it is more advisable than Vario and TMS system... of course, Fendt is more comfortable. The tractor has a harvesting tool of 6 rows that is equipped with a hydraulic system to modify its position on hills.
The Gilles RB410T Automat harvesters has a tank capacity of 20 tons in order to work a long time without being downloaded. They can harvest a lot of hectares per day (the working speed is about 9 km/h) and the harvesting price is 300€/ha... farmers said this harvesting system is profitable now.

y cual es la razón de que trabaje mejor el valtra?
ReplyDeleteHola.
DeletePues la sensación que tienen ellos es que el Fendt no desarrolla toda su potencia para este trabajo al utilizar el sistema TMS, cosa que si consiguen con el Valtra. No te se decir más detalles... es simplemente una cuestión de feeling.
Saludos.
es un trabajo mas de toma de fuerza mas que tracción no?
ReplyDeleteel tms esta diseñado también para toma de fuerza?
Hola.
DeleteEfectivamente, es un trabajo de toma de fuerza (tanto delantera como trasera). El TMS es un sistema que gestiona el motor según la velocidad del tractor y la configuración que el conductor selecciona (eco, power o PTO).
Desafortunadamente, no te sabríamos decir más detalles de lo que nos preguntas. Tal vez algún seguidor que trabaje con este tractor nos puede dar más detalles y sus impresiones.
Gracias.
