445 - Simply solid

The proven header for harvesting thin-stemmed crops. The simple, practical design of the rotary intake system, consisting of four intake and two transport drums, ensure that service and maintenance work is kept to a minimum.

Wide range of applications

Wide range of applications: Maize, sorghum, sunflowers, whole crop silage, oilseed rape, hemp, pampas grass, etc. Two mechanically driven crop dividers for heavily laid crops, height adjustable crop lifters.

ROAD TRANSPORT

The outer cutting rotors are folded hydraulically to give a transport width of 2.47 m. The transport guard is fitted with flashing lights and position lights. When folded, the cutting units may partially cover the headlamps on some self-propelled forage harvesters. It may be necessary to re-position the headlamps to conform with the prevailing highway regulations. Counterweights must be fitted in compliance with applicable government inspection survey regulations.

Cutting system

Row independent cutting system

Row independent cutting system with high speed cutting rotors and freewheel mechanism. Cuts across the entire cutting width by means of enclosed saw type rotor blades with replaceable segments. Fast rotating cutting rotors also cut under heavy circumstances, for example, weeds or whole crop silage.

Blades

Tungsten carbide coated saw type blades, manufactured with quality certification, self sharpening, lower load placed on clutches and transmissions. Available as a service set.

Cleaner

The big drum machines range features special shaped cleaners. The sharp edged maize stubble is broken up by the cleaners placed under the cutting rotors. This not only protects the tyres of the forage harvester, but also speeds up the decomposition of the stubble.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

rigid stalk lifter tips

The rigid stalk lifter tips are useful for picking up down crops.

Whole crop silage (WCS) kit

WCS kit improves the throughput.

2-stage gearshift

A 2-stage gearshift optimizes the feed speed, especially for long cutting lengths.

Liquid-cooled friction clutch

The KEMPER solution for optimal power transmission prevents overheating, provides longer service life than standard type clutches - available as a field installed kit.
