Features
Large-diameter auger feeds the largest forage harvester to maximum capacity
R-Series Pickup with 79-cm (31.1-in.) auger diameter and 20-cm (7.9-in.) auger flights This pickup was developed with one clear goal: to deliver maximum throughput for the most demanding machines in the field. Equipped with the largest pickup auger in the industry, it easily handles enormous crop volumes thanks to its impressive 79 cm (31.1 in.) auger diameter and 20 cm (7.9 in.) auger flight. Designed to perfectly feed the latest generation of forage harvesters including the F9 1000 and other high-performance models, it sets new standards for productivity.
The oversized auger smooths out uneven windrows and ensures a consistent crop flow, enabling efficient and reliable operation of the harvester. This is technology built for peak performance because your machine deserves the best.
Chainless drive has easy maintenance and minimises costs
Reliable and durable drive with minimal servicing The chainless drive makes servicing this machine very easy. The heavy-duty gearbox does not require any daily maintenance. Oily fingers due to working on the chains are a thing of the past. There are no maintenance or repair costs for chains and sprockets as on other pickups. The operational reliability is further increased.
Six tine bar pickup reel with more tines to handle the crop, ensuring nothing is left behind
Diagram of pickup reel 
Pickup reel with six tine bars The R-Series Pickups are equipped with six tine bars. The tine size is 6.5 mm (0.26 in.). More tines with more strength ensure a perfect job is always done with no crop left behind, even in high yield conditions. A lower pickup reel speed is also possible, resulting in less wear.
The 6.5-mm (0.26-in.) thick tines are mounted on the tine bars with support elements. These elements distribute the forces better from the tine wire to the bar. This design leads to a longer service life for the tines.
Camless pick up reel design ensures durability – Limited Production Build (LPB) MY2026
Camless pickup reel with fewer moving parts The camless pickup unit sets new standards in reliability and efficiency. Its innovative design uses fewer components, which means less wear and a longer lifespan. With fewer moving parts and no cam tracks, the system is simpler, more robust, and built for consistent performance. This translates into smoother crop flow, extended service life, and reduced maintenance costs season after season. By eliminating one of the most wear-prone elements of traditional systems, the camless design ensures maximum uptime and dependable operation.
Optional inner working lights improve visibility for a clear view of the harvesting process
Inner working lights on pickup The inner working lights provide bright, focused illumination exactly where you need it inside the header. This ensures optimal visibility of crop flow and key components even in low-light conditions and is especially beneficial when searching for foreign objects.
