Harvesting system used for hybrid lavander and other plants whose stems have a minimum length of 25cm. This harvesting process is used on farms where lavander is cultivated on small surfaces, mostly situated in mountain zones.

               Once stems are cut off by the cutting parts, they are stored into the binding canal where the sheaf is made. When the latter is finished, it is either ejected onto the ground or it can be picked up by a transporter and stocked in a hopper.

a) sheaf-binder harvester ref. RPPO5, adapted on the side of a tractor, for each tractor an adaptation is necessary (when exported, it must be done either by the client or by a technician specialized in agriculture equipment). 50 to 70 horsepower are required for the carrying tractor ( 2 or 4 wheel drive).

1. Harvesting capacity: 3 to 4 h/ha

2. Speed: 2 to 4 km/h

3. Cutting height: minimum 8cm maximum 65cm

4. Binding height: 12.5cm to 25cm

5. Harvester with alveolus chain (patented system)

6. Size of the sheaf: about 25 to 30cm in diameter.

7. Hydraulic transmission allowed by a hydraulicstation driven by shearing force, it has a three-point hitch at the back. The station is adapted on the lifting pole when the harvester comes with the RPP23 option.

8. Hopper option ref. RPP20 at the back adapted on the station.

9. lifting pole RPP23 to be bolted onto the back of the tractor

(when exported, to be adapted either by the client or by a technician specialized in agriculture equipment)
