The third generation of VARITRON 470 harvesters is distinguished not only by its new design, but also by many improvements. Both the wheeled version of the machine and the machine with TERRA TRAC have been upgraded and will be offered for the 2023 harvesting season.
Optimized defoliator
The new hitch makes it easier to assemble and dismantle the defoliator. In addition to this, the defoliator drive power has been increased, which ensures a good chopping of an ever-increasing amount of haulm.
Universal digging device
For year-round use, the VARITRON 470 can be equipped with various diggers for potatoes, onions and carrots. It can also be used for the two-phase pick-up method for onions and potatoes.
Proven digging technology with new features
With the help of the automatic speed control Speedtronic-Web, the sieving webs can be adjusted not only according to the forward speed, but also depending on the load.
To eliminate possible blockages, all screening conveyors, the haulm elevator and the ring elevator can be reversed separately and conveniently without leaving their cab. It is also new that the direction of rotation of the lifting devices or the lifting rollers can be reversed. They can rotate both in the direction of the pulling mode and the transport mode. This enables the VARITRON to be even better adapted to different crops and the desired separation result.
Hopper extension - also for the wheeled version of the machine
The VARITRON 470 with wheeled undercarriage can also be equipped with the proven 64 cm bunker extension. This enables easy and safe loading of especially tall transport vehicles and containers in the second row. Hopper extension is especially recommended for opening a field with long hauls. With a CW of 75 cm, the hauling vehicle can move in the tramline and fill without loss at a distance of four rows from the combine.
Special comfort
The new VARITRON 470 is equipped as standard with a CCI 1200 control panel with a 12,1" display. Its intuitive control surface provides the driver with an excellent overview of all machine functions.
SmartView with 12-inch touch screen, zoom, Live Slow Motion, Wi-Fi real-time image transmission, Visual Protect PRO and image recording provides 13 cameras with a good overview of all machine functions. As a result, even more optimal machine settings are possible.
In order to document yield quantities, the VARITRON 470 can be equipped with an integrated yield mapping system. Based on these data, it is possible to compile a field map showing differentiated areas with high and low yield zones. Using the Farm Management Information System (FMIS), based on a field map showing areas of different yields, it is possible to draw up a special field map for treating specific areas using the exact amount of necessary fertilizers, plant protection products and planting material.
In accordance with the regulations in force in the country of use, the new VARITON 470 with wheeled chassis can be approved for speeds up to 30 km/h.
