Forage Harvesters
How would you design the perfect pull-type Forage Harvester?
You would start with a "straight through" design like a self-propelled Forage Harvester.
|
"A Forage
Harvester with shearing and unidirectional blower can
save energy up to 10% more
compare to a Forage Harvester which modifies the
particles direction and loses on the process an important
part of its cynetic energy." Reference: UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL, CORPAQ, MACDONALD CAMPUS. |
