Tanker upgrade delivers more traction, driver comfort
Distributed in New Zealand by Norwood, Pichon has expanded its SV effluent tanker range with the addition of the new SV12R single-axle and SV15R tandem-axle models.
Kongskilde has launched heavy duty transmission for its large complete diet mixers, citing larger dairy herds, longer mixing times and its success with its Mix+ concept.
The HD transmission line is offered as an option on the VM 38 and VM 45 machines with triple augers.
It consists of a robustly made gearbox and PTO shaft that are designed for continuous operation under heavy load. The gearbox has an oil cooling system that ensures a constant and optimal operating temperature. The solution includes a gear pump and an oil filter.
The HD transmission line withstands farmers’ intensive use of such machines: it is not unusual for a diet mixer to have to produce six-seven mixes per day and to cope with longer mixing times. Growing heavy loads were also behind the company’s Mix+ -- in essence a wear part concept with replaceable wear parts for the front edges of mixer augers.
