  • Dutch machinery manufacturer Ploeger has revealed a new self-propelled merger. A number of these machines have been built and are now being put through their paces.
    The machine is equipped with a pick-up reel and belt- conveyors to gather and shift grass with a working width from 10m to 12m and with a maximum speed of 20km/h/
    The CM4240 is powered by an 260 HP FPT engine. The cab is from the German manufacturer Claas.

      He's the king of agriculture machinery on UA-cam. Doesn't hurt that the Netherlands provides him with a crazy arsenal of customized machinery, they are on top of the game and masters of maximizing crop yield in such a relatively small country. Hyper modern farming can't think of a single country that has such an extreme approach to the job.

    For all the people comparing this with the Krone big M: That is a mower! This machine is designed in such as way that the action all happens in front of the vehicle, offering a lot more control and precision as compared to a pulled rake. Furthermore it is very flexible as it can put the swath down in different positions. On top of that it can make very clean swaths, because the crop is not dragged across the field, but lifted up and moved on a belt.

      If you're big enough, this is a bit more nimble than a tractor mounted or more typically towed merger. Last 5 years there has been a big shift locally to these merger machines for making alfalfa/haylage. Much less crop damage than a rake.

    It’s a great video, but I’m struggling to see how anyone could justify the cost. It’s 280 hp. I’m guessing that it’s no cheaper than buying a 280 hp tractor and a large conventional rake and you could use the tractor 365 days a year for whatever else you needed. This has a, maybe, 4 month use window doing solely one job. And I’d hate to imagine the resale value given there would be so few users for a machine this size. Love to drive one though!

      @patrickverkley323 4 роки тому +2

      These mergers are becoming very popular here in Ontario Canada. With all the alfalfa that is grown for dairy, these mergers are much more gentle on the crop than a rake is. This also kicks up less stones which saves on harvester repairs. However most of the mergers locally are all trailed units, being pulled by tractors.

    • @gkloepper
      @gkloepper 4 роки тому +1

      Danish Timelapse i don‘t think so! From what this looks like you would need two big windrowers to be as productive as one of these because it can go much quicker and is easier to handle because of the Pickup being in frint of the vehicle and the rear steering axle. Plus it is better for forage quality

    • @danishtimelapse62

      @@gkloepper A windrower is much cheaper, can't be discussed. Yes the belts are more handy but if you buy one of these you have a belt standing on a what looks like a pretty pricey machine in the winter there just is in the shead. A tractor can you use to diffrent things and make you the moneys during the winter. Let's make perspektive: You got a machine to 200.000€ like this belt windrower there's doing nothing in the winter. Another farmer got a new tractor to 150.000€ a plow and a windrower to all in all 200.000 that means this farmer now can plow for people but you only have the windrower to 200.000€ so you have to raise the price to keep your moneys save. Then people start to leave you cause your to pricey and go to the farmer because he earned a lot of moneys from the plowing and now got the moneys to lower the windrower prices so he get more klients

    The concept is there but why bother making a whole self propelled unit when it could easily be redisigned as a header to be installed on a self propelled swather. That way it would be way more cost effective and most large farms already have swather. It's pretty much a draper header with the real and knife removed and a baler style pickup installed.
