Features
Exclusive Straight-Through Design
Without a transverse auger, the straight line flow of the Dion harvester makes it the most efficient on the market. The silage is accelerated in a progressive manner at every step, without an abrupt change in direction, without energy loss. The same efficiency as a self-propelled harvester at a fraction of the cost.
Unmatched Capacity
The secret behind the capacity of the Dion harvester resides in the rotation speed of the cutterhead. At 1033 rpm, it is 22% more cuts per minutes than the competition (and up to 62% more for certain lengths of cut*).
Exploit all the tractor’s power without constraint with throughputs exceeding 110 ton/h. The spiral bevel gears can handle 300hp (PTO power) without worry. Improved cooling and synthetic oil lubrication ensures great reliability.

Renowned Quality of Cut
Available with a Dion cutterhead of 8 or 12 knives depending on your requirement. The helicoidal knives, with tapered profile, cut precisely with low power requirement. The simplified change in length of cut procedure is carried out in a few minutes, without a drive chain to remove. With two choices of LOC range, maximise the capacity of your harvester no matter the conditions. Three LOC sprockets are available from the factory. Cut up to 24mm (0.94in) in length with 8 knives (vs 6 knives for the competition), a configuration unique to Dion.
Simplified Sharpening & Adjustment
Nothing is more important for good harvester performance and silage quality than the sharpness of the knives and the shearbar adjustment. To make the task easier, the time to execute these tasks has been reduce by 50% compared to the previous models and nothing on the market can compare in terms of simplicity. The forward sharpening on Dion harvesters provides a sharp edge without leaving a burr.
The simplified sequence reduces the sharpening and bar adjustment to two simple steps. Start the PTO, sharpen, and adjust! No driveshaft to disconnect, no repetitive travels between the tractor seat and the harvester. With a rack & pinion system, the shearbar is loosened with one bolt, standing on the side of the harvester. Sliding on integrated ramps, it moves parallel to the cutterhead by a single adjustment bolt. This simple method encourages the operator to maintain proper adjustments and knife sharpness. The reduction in wear, fuel consumption and resulting excellent silage quality will add up to gains in profitability.
Electro-Hydraulic Functions
All harvester functions are regrouped in a distribution manifold with cartridge valves. This modular design is economical and easy to maintain. The hydraulic functions provide precision and power. For example, the F/R gearbox is shifted twice as fast as the previous generation with an electric actuator shifter. A single SCV is required for all functions with a low 3gpm continuous flow.
The control manifold operates the following functions:
- 3 spout functions (rotation, deflector, height)
- F/R transmission shifting
- Header height
- Tongue position
- Automatic trailer disconnect (option)
Options
Kernel Processor
The Dion processor rolls with τSτ “Total Shear Technology” offer the desired processing with quick and easy adjustment.
Liquid/Inoculant Applicator
A large reservoir (50gal) provides sufficient volume for several hours of operation. It can be used to apply preservative or simply water to lubricate the crop channel in tough sticky conditions. The applicator is located directly over the blower to ensure a perfect mixing. A secondary reservoir option for a total of 100gal is also available.
Light
A 600 lumen, LED spout light, illuminates the trailer for night work.
Stinger Spout
Performance of a self-propelled with a Dion pull-type harvester are possible with the side loading offered by the Stinger spout extension. The powerful throwing capacity and long reach permit side loading on the left or the right, or directly behind the harvester to open fields. The option can be ordered at purchase or for an update later on. The conversion between short and long configuration is done in a few minutes with hand tools to adapt to any harvesting setup. The extension kit includes a night/day wireless digital camera with a 7in color monitor and a LED light.
Camera
The Scorpion 300 is prewired for up to 2, wide angle, wireless cameras capable of night vision. The first one can be installed on the spout to keep track of filing while looking ahead. A second one can be installed at several locations behind or to the side of the machine. It can be used as a back-up camera for easy hooking of forage wagons.
The 7in monitor antenna has a minimum reach of 75ft and can be paired and display up to 4 cameras. Mounting holes are provided on the harvester control box or it can even be installed in a different tractor if needed.
Tires & Axles
Five (5) options of wheels are available. Standard equipment includes tandem axles. They ensure a good flotation and a smooth ride. In muddy conditions they keep the harvester in its track, especially with pull-behind trailers. Designed with a narrow profile, they offer 3 height adjustments. The polymer bushing is trouble and maintenance free.
TerraRib® tires are standard. For unbeatable durability, choose the hyper wear resistant TerraTrac® tires that are also soft on prairies.
In option: Single axles are available with 3 choices of tire : TerraRib®, TerraTrac® or DynaRib®. However, tandem axles are mandatory for some harvester configurations.
Hydraulic Trailer Disconnect
Available in disconnect configuration only, or with “attach-matic” quick hitch compatibility. Disconnecting is done with a quick and strong small hydraulic piston. The secured actuation switch is integrated in the control box.
