Combine harvester CLAAS MEGA 202 - 218

In a series of Mega combines the Claas company implemented APS threshing system for the first time. Unlike production of other manufacturers, there was an additional accelerating drum in front of the threshing drum in this series, which increased profitability in 30%.

In autumn 1993 a new combine generation of Mega series was introduced – which actually replaced Commandor series. The Claas Mega 202-218 combine harvesters were equipped with fuel-diesel 6-cylinder engines, hydrostatic transmission, APS threshing system, consisting of drum-accelerator with concave, the main threshing drum with 450 mm diameter and reversing drum, which supplies mass to the straw rake.

There are two rows of tooth agitators above the straw rake keyboard – they accelerate the separation process. In the cleaning system the 3-D device is used, which function is to allow working at the slopes under 20 °. In addition to habitual movements the upper sieve performs side movements, directed in opposition to the slope. The reaping machines are fitted with segmental and digital cutterbar and eccentric reeling machine with electric drive. When clogging happens in the reaping-machine, the reverse of reaping-machine instruments is used together with sloping conveyer.

The electrohydraulic system “Auto Contour” provides precise adjustment to the relief in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The control is performed by the means of a single multi-function lever: the position of the reaping-machine and reel, direction and speed of the combine, and the turning on of the system of adjustment to the relief.
