Instructions for Using the 4GD-2 Soybean Swather

Growing Techniques 0 views
Heilongjiang Province is the main soybean-producing region in China, accounting for more than thirty percent of the total soybean planting area. For many years, soybean harvesting was done by manual sickle cutting, which not only had low daily efficiency and a long harvest period, but often affected the timely carrying out of autumn plowing and autumn field preparation. Although farms used large machinery for swathing, the loss rate still remained between 8-10%. Due to delays in the cutting period, when combining was carried out in the late stage of soybean maturity, soybean pod shattering became even more serious. With the reform of the economic system on farms and in rural areas, small four-wheel tractors

Heilongjiang Province is the main soybean-producing region in China, accounting for more than thirty percent of the total soybean planting area. For many years, soybean harvesting was done by manual sickle cutting, which not only had low daily efficiency and a long harvest period, but often affected the timely carrying out of autumn plowing and autumn field preparation. Although farms used large machinery for swathing, the loss rate still remained between 8-10%. Due to delays in the cutting period, when combining was carried out in the late stage of soybean maturity, soybean pod shattering became even more serious.

With the reform of the economic system on farms and in rural areas and the continuous increase in small four-wheel tractors, the vast number of farming households urgently needed a soybean swather that could be used in combination with small four-wheel tractors.

In order to meet the requirements of the vast number of soybean growers, our factory, after years of continuous research, finally developed the 4GD-2 soybean swather for use in combination with small four-wheel tractors, and it passed provincial-level technical appraisal, filling this gap in China. This machine has the advantages of advanced design, compact and reasonable structure, light weight, and full suspension. It can harvest two rows of soybeans at one time and lay them in swaths after passing through the clamping belt and conveyor belt.

Main parameters:

1. Timely harvest, when most soybean leaves have turned yellow.

2. Stubble height: 3-5 cm

3. Total loss rate: less than 4%

4. Overall dimensions: 2100×2300×950 (mm)

5. Weight: 180 kg

6. Number of rows harvested: 2 rows (swath size can be controlled)

7. Harvesting row spacing: 550-700 mm

8. Matching power: 8.8 kW

9. Productivity: 3.5-4 hectares/day (10 hours)

10. Operating speed: 3-4 km/h
