C6000 Series (Stage 3A)

The cutter bar is the part of the combine that starts the entire harvesting process, which is why DEUTZ-FAHR has developed a comprehensive, reliable range suited to its customers' needs. DEUTZ-FAHR headers are synonymous with precise cutting results, reliability, sturdy construction and versatility. The range offers a vast selection of cutting widths with 4 standard headers (4.2 m, 4.8 m, 5.4 m and 6.3 m), which are enhanced with unique specifications and can be fitted with accessories that meet the most demanding needs. Schumacher cutting system: With a planetary knife drive for very high cutting rates (1220 cuts per minute), the Schumacher Easy Cut II cutting system ensures precise cutting results and delivers both outstanding performance and superior cutting quality even when working with green or laid crops and with high crop densities. Autocontrol: The AUTOCONTROL system corrects the position of the cutting table to follow the contours of the terrain perfectly in all possible harvesting conditions. The AUTOCONTROL system uses three different sensors to maintain consistent cutting height, lateral float and ground pressure: the driver can therefore quickly set these parameters as needed from the cab, leaving the system to automatically do the rest. Proportional pick-up reel: The pick-up reel is equipped with six bars, each carrying a set of extremely resilient and flexible plastic teeth, which are settable at an adjustable angle and individually replaceable for easier maintenance. The pick-up reel is mounted on arms sliding on Teflon glides (for quick, precise hydraulic adjustment of tooth inclination), and is easily adjusted to be either vertical or horizontal to the cab, to make it adapt perfectly to different harvesting crops and conditions. The pick-up reel may also be synchronised with the machine's feed speed. The driving and pick-up-reel speeds can be first chosen by the driver and then, when they increase or decrease, the pick-up reel's rpm is automatically adjusted to maintain the set speed. Special kits: DEUTZ-FAHR cutter bars have been designed for versatility. Both the sunflower and the rapeseed kits can be easily fitted to the original grain bar to further extend operation and make using your combine harvester more profitable. This first kit consists of special extensions used simultaneously together with a smooth cylinder (installed at the front of the intake auger) and a toothed roller (mounted under the cutter bar instead of the pick-up reel, which is removed) to harvest the crop efficiently and quickly. The kit for rapeseed differs from the sunflower seed kit as it also includes an extension for the table and a vertical cutter blade on the right hand side of the hydraulic transmission (a blade on the left hand side is optional).

The feed passage of the C6205 ensures that the harvested crop is treated delicately and transferred correctly to the threshing system. The bars feed into the entire width of the passage and are fastened to three reinforced, load-bearing chains. The lifting channel is capable of working with even very heavy cutter bars, allowing even maize pickers to be used and ensuring that all the power is transmitted in the safest way. The machine is equipped with two lift cylinders as standard, while a third is available for use with particularly heavy cutter bars. For an even more accurate cutting quality, the machine may be equipped with the Auto-control system, which compensates for lateral movements of the bars for extremely precise results, especially when working with broader cutting widths. Feeder channel inversion: You can never be too careful, so even the tried-and-tested C6000 cutter bars and lifting channels feature a powerful electric reverse system that can be used to clear any blockages and prevent overloading of the feed passage.

DEUTZ-FAHR means uncompromised performance. The threshing system of the C6205 offers the same capabilities as its older sisters to ensure unparalleled performance with any crop, and impeccable grain and straw quality. Threshing drum: The 600-mm-diameter threshing drum consists of 8 robust bars bolted onto 5 mounts for easy maintenance and replacement. Rotation speeds from 420 to 1250 rpm are available, with superlative performance across the entire speed range; additionally, by applying a reduction drive to the shaft of the threshing drum, you can lower the rpm by approx. 50% with a few simple steps. The concave has a wrap angle of 121 degrees, which guarantees maximum separation. The monolithic version is available with x different wire spacing configurations of 14, 11 and x, each for harvesting a different crop. Multi-segment system: Setting the DEUTZ-FAHR threshing system apart from its rivals is the (optional) multi-segment system, which makes it possible to reconfigure the combine harvester quickly during the harvesting season, and even allows the user to customise threshing and separation systems. In fact, this solution lets the operator select the most suitable spacing between the wires of the different segments depending on harvesting conditions. The driver can therefore intensify the threshing action on the inlet side of the threshing drum and maximise separation on the outlet side, reducing the load on the straw walker and minimising the quantity of short straw captured by the sieves. This solution ensures effective separation at the threshing drum exceeding 90%, a guarantee of high productivity and high quality. For more delicate crops, the machine may be equipped with an optional straw beater synchronised with the speed of the threshing drum. Turbo separator: The C6205's threshing system is equipped with a third cylinder positioned after the straw beater and right before the straw walker: This is the turbo-separator, a device that increases the work capacity of the combine harvester by approximately 20%, for unparalleled performance even when harvesting very dense crops or in difficult conditions, such as with green straw and with large quantities of weeds. The turbo-separator has a diameter of 590 mm, and 10 toothed rasp bars; the drum is adjustable into 5 different positions, to select a more or less aggressive separation action or even deactivate the turbo-separator completely when not needed. Straw walkers: The long, closed straw walkers ensure thorough separation in all conditions, even with wet crop and large quantities of weeds. The structure, inclination and mechanism of the straw walkers are the results of extensive experience in the field and ensure thorough separation, with only straw expelled from the rear of the combine harvester. When harvesting particularly dense crops, the straw walkers may be fitted with special crests to accentuate the aeration of the crop itself. The straw walkers are mounted on bearings to reduce noise and minimise power absorption.

The C6205 combines power with a gentle touch. The cleaning system - a hallmark feature of all DEUTZ-FAHR combine harvesters - ensures both maximum productivity and guaranteed quality. The crop is transferred from the straw walkers to the grain preparation pan, which moves in the opposite direction to distribute the product uniformly. The comes across a pre-sieve before it reaches the upper sieve, which creates the double step necessary in the path of the crop to slow it and pre-clean it before the actual cleaning process. Grain pan: The 1.85 m long reciprocating grain preparation pan ensures perfect stratification of straw and chaff which, being lighter than the grain, are immediately blown away on contact with the airflow generated by the fan; an effect that significantly improves the cleanliness of the finished product. The double step configuration ensures excellent cleaning results, avoiding the risk of overloading the sieves without sacrificing productivity. An ingenious system ensures that the sieves function efficiently and quietly for maximum productivity: The external transmission for the sieves and grain preparation pan halves the strain on the sieving system and is easy to service. The opposed movement of the sieves prevents straw residue from accumulating and blocking the sieves themselves. The sieves are arranged in two levels (with an upper and a lower sieve) for an initial intense cleaning action followed by a finer second action. The adjustable extension of the upper sieve optimises the grain recovery volume and, as a result, the performance of the combine harvester. Sieve aperture is controlled mechanically from levers situated directly on the upper sieve level, or with an optional electric system from the Commander Stick. Using dual sensors and a control bar extending along the entire length of the sieve box, the sieve performance control system ensures precise combine harvester productivity monitoring. Turbine: The high performance (400 mm diameter) turbine with 44 vanes aspirates air along the entire width of the combine harvester. Turbine speed is adjustable electrically in a range from 480 to 980 rpm. The transverse air flow volume is controlled by deflectors which advance or retard air delivery to the sieve. Air is distributed uniformly over the entire length of the tank. The transverse air flow volume is controlled by deflectors which advance or retard air delivery to the sieve for uniform delivery over the entire length of the tank. DGR: Another distinctive feature of DEUTZ-FAHR is the dual return system, a genuine stroke of genius that improves the performance of the combine harvester and the efficacy of the entire threshing system, and minimises losses. This is an uncleaned product recovery system, which collects material from a table under the sieves and returns it to the grain preparation pan via two lifting channels on the sides of the machine. Inside the lifting channels are two concaves which shell much of the uncleaned product in the time it takes to be picked from the bottom of the sieve box and returned to the grain preparation pan. Depending on the type of crop being handled, you can choose from two types of friction plate for the concaves or bypass the recovery system entirely if it is not needed. The DGR system is not only extremely productive, but also technologically advanced, equipped with special sensors that monitor the process to ensure total safety and prevent the risk of breakdowns or other unforeseen problems.

Grain Tank: Your gathered crop is carried in a generously sized 7000-litre grain tank, so that you can keep working without interruptions. The harvested product can be checked quickly thanks to a new sampling system that is found within easy reach of the driver, just outside the driver's cab. The tank is fed by the grain elevator which features a folding joint to minimise the risk of grain shredding as well as ensuring optimum tank filling at any angle. Two sensors in the tank activate an indicator light and an audible warning signal to inform the driver that the tank is full, and that it is necessary to bring the tractor near the thresher for discharging onto the trailer. Discharging: The discharge pipe with a high outlet makes it quick (75 l/sec.) and easy to empty the tank, by simply bringing a high sided trailer alongside the harvester, even when using 6.50 metre wide cutting tables. The 4.5 metre high discharge outlet means that the tank may be emptied even when moving, and allows product to be transferred easily even into large trailers. Available in lengths of 5 - 5.6 metres and with a generous 110 degrees of mobility, the discharge pipe means that the combine harvester can work with a large range of cutting widths, and ensures that the operator has a clear view of the discharge outlet at all times. The aperture and closer of the discharge pipe is be controlled easily from the cab via the Commander Control.

Straw Chopper: The integrated straw chopper has a mounted rotor with 4 rows of 48 serrated and curved knives This configuration produces an air flow which spreads crop uniformly over the entire surface of the cutter bars and can be adjusted via manually controlled deflectors (electrical adjustment system available as an option). The system may be set to chop straw or maize by simply changing two pulleys, without requiring additional reduction gears for threshing heavier crops. The position of the counter-blade is adjustable to obtain the degree of chopping required. Chaff spreader: Like the straw chopper, the chaff spreader is designed to distribute material over even the broadest cutting table, for perfect mixing of the chopped material. The transfer pan (which transfers the product to be processed) ensures uniform chaff distribution, while a conveyor with metal chutes directs the chaff to the four-blade rotors. The blades on the rotors include specific deflectors which regulate air flow for superlative distribution results without very high power demands, while the angle of the chaff spreader is adjustable to ensure ideal distribution with different crops.

Engines designed to increase productivity: Deutz TCD 6.1l L6 T3A liquid-cooled engines provide constant power and torque when harvesting work becomes difficult and are designed to reduce fuel consumption. These are robust, reliable and efficient engines, thanks to their Common Rail injection system with 12 electronically controlled valves, they easily handle load peaks and always maintain a constant level so as not to impair productivity. Engines that deliver 211 hp (155 kW) combined with a highly efficient threshing system that has the lowest hourly consumption in the world of motors. Power is distributed across both sides of the engine, making it possible to separate hydraulic and mechanical functions and achieve a direct transmission of force with no power loss. This also means that fewer drive belts are used, and that the belts themselves are more accessible, reducing the running costs for the combine harvester. Three-speed transmission: The three-speed hydrostatic transmission means you will always find the right speed for various harvesting conditions, thanks to a simple lever next to the driver's seat. In addition, the adequate spacing ensures that there is always plenty of torque on tap to tackle the most difficult traction conditions. The gears of the reduction unit and gearbox are lapped to reduce operating noise without compromising the durability and reliability of the transmission system.
