Honey Bee - Model WSC -Grain Belt Swather
Honey Bee lives to make harvests faster and more efficient. Available exclusively for New Holland Speedrower PLUS, and Case IH WD5 series windrowers, the WSC Grain Belt Swather table will turn your power unit into a high-efficiency swather, increasing your farming productivity. Built on a platform that easily attaches to a New Holland or Case IH windrower, and with increased durability features such as a heavy-duty 3/16″ tubular steel header mainframe, the WSC Grain Belt Swather is designed to last. Available in 30′ and 36′ widths, its high capacity is optimal for improved flow of specialty crops like canola. A simple coupling and uncoupling procedure makes the header easy to transport down narrow roads.
Knife Drive
The knife is driven by a 3 5/16″ (8.4 cm) stroke, epicyclic knife drive which operates at 1,400 strokes per minute. The knife drive is driven by a low maintenance hydraulic drive motor. Double knife drive systems are standard equipment on all sizes.
SCH Cutting System
The SCH Easy Cut Cutting System provides smooth, superior cutting. Spring steel guards with cutting edges on top and bottom, along with alternating, bolted, heat-treated sections, eliminate the need for hold downs. The system keeps dirt and debris from accumulating under the knives for increased performance in severe cutting conditions.
Swath Opening
Standard swath opening is 77.5″ – 84″. Double swath opening is 56″. Standard and double swath options are available on all sizes.
High Performance Honey Bee Reel
The custom built, fully adjustable reel is hydraulically driven by the windrower. All reel functions are controlled through the tractor’s hydraulic control valves for quick in-cab adjustment in changing crop conditions.
Remote Draper Speed Control
Draper speeds are hydraulically controlled in-cab, and are adjustable up to 750 fpm. Remote draper speed control gives you the power to quickly adjust draper speeds for varying crop conditions.
Polyester Drapers
42″ (106.7 cm) drapers are made of long-lasting, rubberized polyester with fibreglass-reinforced slats and are V-guided to eliminate manual draper tracking.
Draper Drive
The 3″ (7.6 cm) diameter drive rollers provide traction in heavy crop conditions. Powered from the outside by a hydraulic motor, the drapers move the crop towards the centre for more uniform feeding.
Reel Drive
The hydraulically driven reel is easily controlled using standard in-cab controls. In-cab controls allow for quick reel adjustment in changing crop conditions.
Hydraulic Header Tilt
No-wrench header tilt adjustment for header tilt control in varying crop conditions.
Fore/Aft Reel Adjustment
A hydraulic adjustment with in-cab control is available for fore/aft positioning for on-the-go response to changing crop conditions.
Draper Tension and Tracking
The canvas can be adjusted for tracking and tightening, which allows for even tension on both the front and rear of the rollers. A quick release lever allows for ease of canvas and roller cleaning.
Integral Storage Transport
The self-contained transport, including hitch, jack and axle, is conveniently stored on the swather table.
Hay Guard
The Hay guard ensures a smooth transition from knife to draper and reduces material wrapping on the rollers.
Castoring Gauge Wheels
Vertically adjustable with a screw jack and cushioned with a rubber spring for compression and rebound. The castoring design eliminates gouging when turning. Available as standard equipment on all sizes.
End Strut Gauge Wheels
These smaller wheels mount on the ends of the table and help prevent them from digging in the dirt when operating in rolling terrain or going through drainage ditches.
Double Swath
Using two shifting decks, double swath gives you in-cab control for right, left and center delivery of your windrow. The double swath option is available on all sizes.
Skid Plates
UHMW skid plates are standard on all models to protect the cutterbar when cutting crops close to the ground.
