Jumbo 7380 DB Pöttinger Jumbo 7380 DB Specifications & Technical Data (2021—2026)

Jumbo

With the new JUMBO you are always two steps ahead. The JUMBO is a high-performance loader wagon that delivers maximum output, high efficiency, excellent reliability and the best operator convenience. It guarantees enjoyable work and high yields. The new range brings you safely through the harvesting season and is also ideal for transporting goods of all kinds at other times too.

For your customer

As a contractor your task is to harvest the best forage on behalf of your customer in a brief period of time. If you want the customer to remain with you in future you must ensure his long-term satisfaction. The success of a farmer’s business depends on the quality of the forage you collect for him. If the farmer cannot fully exploit the potential yield of his herd he is likely to withdraw his custom and entrust the work to another contractor. That gives you sufficient reason to do everything possible from the outset to keep the customer satisfied. PÖTTINGER agricultural technology provides the ideal basis for this because it ensures optimum ground tracking and consequently minimal dirt ingress. It is designed for maximum crop protection and highest output. This is doubly important because the best forage has only a short wilting period and you are already due at your next customer.

For your livestock

As a farmer, you know: High yield livestock need a high quality basic ration. Ruminants are fussy about their forage. The quality of the basic ration they are given, in other words its energy content, digestibility, odour and taste, determines whether your animals consume large amounts of it. What they like most is basic ration that is clean and tasty. The amount of concentrates used can be reduced. This cuts forage costs while at the same time improving animal health. Healthy livestock reward you with higher fertility, a longer useful life and, crucially, higher milk and meat yields. The bottom line is that you benefit from clean, high quality forage with more profit from your farm business.

Don't feed your animals crude ash!

There are many reasons why high crude ash content prevents cost effective milk production. Best basic ration is required if cows are to remain healthy, fertile and produce a lot of milk. The basic ration should contain as little earth and sand as possible. These contaminants, shown as ‘crude ash’ in feed composition analysis, cause undesirable side effects. The function of the reticulum-rumen system is reduced. Organisms that affect the ensiling process, such as clostridium, can be brought in. The yield ability, health and fertility of dairy cows suffers as a result.

The highest forage quality

High yield dairy cattle need a high quality basic ration with the optimum forage structure. When developing the JUMBO the primary objectives were; ensure clean and gentle forage collection, provide a short and even chop, along with avoiding needless wastage of forage and power by ensuring a high output. The new JUMBO developments include; hydraulically controlled floating pick-up with new jockey wheel linkage along with additional tracking roller, new drive concept, new rotor, chopping system and movable front panel. These advances were all the result of our listening to our customers and faithfully meeting their requirements.

High quality components

Apart from field trials, the new components of this JUMBO generation were also put through their paces and their service lives tested before they received the “seal of approval”. The stress and strain exerted on the entire drive train in the field was recorded during test runs with sensors attached to critical points and was then analysed in the test program. During the trials, the target of 8,000 loader wagon loads with no malfunction was not just achieved, but exceeded.

Conserves soil

Always look after the health of your soil. Choose the right tyres, protect the sward, and you will increase your profits. With the right tyres, there is no contradiction between using high output technology and conserving the soil. In order to protect soil as a natural resource, to ensure sustainable soil fertility and to maintain soil performance, you need to make sure that loads are distributed uniformly. Using the largest possible dimension of wheels increases the footprint of the tyres so that the soil structure is maintained in the best possible way.

Wear parts

The CLASSIC line is for standard duty applications. With these ORIGINAL INSIDE parts we have defined the benchmark for quality, best price/performance ratio and reliability. DURASTAR is the innovation on the wear components market - durable, high quality, productive and reliable. Are you used to putting your machines to work in the most extreme conditions? Then the DURASTAR PLUS line is the right choice for you.

Two steps ahead

No-compromise, high performance loader wagon Efficient and powerful with the highest capacity and a high mass flow rate The best forage quality and outstanding reliability Maximum cost effectiveness, convenient to operate and maintain

Moveable front panel

The front panel optimises the loading chamber and features an optional intelligent loading and unloading strategy for large loads. The moveable front panel is standard and provides significantly more volume with the same length of wagon. It increases loading volume by 4.3 m³. At the design stage, particular attention was paid to ensuring that the operator has a good view inside the loading chamber. The front panel makes the loader wagon significantly more compact so that manoeuvrability is improved even in small spaces and on narrow tracks. Optimised load distribution over the axle load and drawbar load ensures stable and safe handling on both the field and the road. The moveable front panel also serves to support unloading. The block of forage is pushed to the back and automatically overturned soon after the scraper floor starts up.

Perfectly matched

In order to be able to optimise the JUMBO to the forage and the tractor power, a dynamometer bolt constantly monitors the torque applied to the drive train. When this reaches the set maximum value, the scraper floor is activated. That is how the compaction of the forage by the rotor can be optimally adapted to the incoming forage volume and the power of the tractor.

Scrapers

Each of the scrapers in the loading chamber has a wide backing. The large scraper surface ensures best possible crop retention in the loading chamber. The crop is cleanly scraped off the rotor and is not drawn in. This allows a high degree of compaction in the loading chamber if need be, which increases the cost effectiveness even when field to farm distances are long. The scrapers are made of wear-resistant Hardox which gives you the longest possible service life.

Rapid unloading

The JUMBO’s excellent unloading performance makes it an efficient team player in any silage convoy. Its unloading speed of up to 35 m/min prevents vehicles used for rolling having to wait in the clamp.

Conical configuration

The loading area on the JUMBO has a conical form. On each side it opens out 25 mm to the rear. This keeps friction to a minimum during unloading. The loaded crop is released more quickly and the scraper floor speed can be increased earlier. This helps rapid unloading even when field to farm distances are long and the crop has settled.

Lowered scraper floor

The scraper floor has been lowered by 250 mm. This reduces the amount of power required for loading. The higher forage package that goes along with this also allows increased compaction and the wagon increases its net load capacity. As loading begins, a compact and stable forage block forms at the front panel. This is subsequently pulled continually backwards by the scraper floor. The high-strength steel floor consists of panels and forms a strong loading area with minimal friction coefficients for rapid unloading.

Scraper floor drives

Two high-performance drives with integrated 2-speed switching are integrated in the longitudinal bar. The boost function ensures that all the tractor’s available hydraulic power is used.

Jumbo

The JUMBO is designed for maximum loading as standard. By dispensing with the beater rotors, the loading chamber can be fully utilized with around 2 m³ extra loading chamber volume compared to the JUMBO DB. The lower tare weight significantly increases the permissible load capacity. JUMBO loader wagons without beater rotors are particularly suitable for unloading in front of the clamp. They deliver maximum unloading performance, as they quickly make way again for the distribution and compaction vehicles. Lower maintenance requirements and lower purchase costs make these wagons particularly interesting if you already have powerful machines for distributing silage in the clamp.

JUMBO with beater rotors (DB)

DB stands for Discharge Beater and identifies your JUMBO as a loader wagon with beater rotors. The DB models have two beater rotors as standard. They effectively loosen up the crop and ensure uniform unloading. The blanket of silage can easily be redistributed and compacted. This makes the JUMBO DB particularly suitable for unloading while driving through the clamp. The robust beater driveline can also handle wood chips, maximising the loader wagon's utilisation throughout the year.

Easy move

For maximum operating convenience and easy servicing. The knife bank requires no tools and pivots out to the sides.

Simply convenient

EASY MOVE lets you change or turn the knives simply and safely outside the loader wagon. It allows you to carry out servicing and inspection ergonomically. Thanks to this comfortable way of working, knives are checked more often and the loader wagon is always in peak operating condition.

Automatic loading

The standard automatic loading system supports the driver with loading and provides a high level of convenience. To guarantee the best possible working results, two modes are available.Loading torque measurement at the belt driveMeasuring point on the moveable upper forage compression flap. Choose loading torque measurement at the belt drive for best results with damp forage because the block of forage cannot reach the compression flap. The more frequently selected option is the one with the measuring point in the moveable upper forage compression flap. This is designed for classic wilted silage and allows easy and immediate adjustment of scraper floor switchpoints and running times to particular crop conditions and filling criteria. The standard automatic loading system is designed for continual automatic filling of the loader wagon, even on long harvesting days, thereby minimising driver fatigue.

Standard front panel

On the standard model, the moveable front panel allows significantly higher volume. The automatic loading system can be adjusted depending on the type of forage and its dry matter content. When unloading, the front panel supports rapid and effective filling.

Loading position

The front panel is in the upright loading position. The upper forage compression flap is preloaded by a spring. 730 mm long and 2,300 mm wide, it offers a large surface area which also allows crop to fill up well, even along the sides.

End position

When the wagon full signal comes from the tailgate, the front panel pivots forward to its end position independently of the automatic loading system, making full loading capacity available.

Intelligent front panel

The patented, intelligent and automatically controlled front panel enables a unique loading and unloading strategy. Available as an option, its length of 830 mm means it has a particularly generously dimensioned upper forage compression flap. An additional dynamometer bolt is fitted in the intelligent front panel to enable a new control concept. These measure the loading pressure at the front panel. With the combination of all measuring points (loading torque sensor, dynamometer bolt, compression flap sensor), the degree of compaction and the desired filling level can be directly regulated. As a result, the parameters can be perfectly adjusted to your forage collection requirements. With the active forage compression flap, unique loading rates of up to 400 kg/m³ can be achieved if required, depending on the DM content.

Intelligent loading system

Three predefined modes can be selected for loading. They enable optimum adaptation to different types of crop, the dry matter content and the degree of filling.Mode 1: Light loadMode 2: Medium compactionMode 3: High compaction. These three modes can also be individually adjusted to suit your requirements.

Active forage compression flap

The active upper forage compression flap is another highlight. It regulates the loading pressure and the filling rate and guarantees the highest quality forage. The control system offers fast and direct adaptation to changing operating conditions.

Filling strategies

Depending on the job in hand and the requirements, the three modes can be selected for the most suitable filling strategy. He can programme his setup with predefined parameters and so vastly improve the overall cost effectiveness of the tractor and wagon combination.

Loader wagon mode

If the scraper floor is actuated by the automatic loading system, the front panel helps push the forage along and then automatically moves back into the loading position. This patented control system ensures that the forage stays extremely compact. After reaching the full signal, the front panel pivots forward in three steps. In the process, residual filling is activated and controlled under pressure. In addition, the intelligent front panel ensures perfect and maximum filling.

Unload in record time

During loading, the front panel also pivots. It transfers the entire crop to the scraper floor and actively pushes it towards the rear. The combination of the scraper floor’s hydraulic boost function and the pushing action of the front panel unload even the biggest JUMBO in less than a minute.

We need powerful and reliable machines

The peninsula of Brittany has an oceanic climate which is very good for growing grass, but is not always easy for harvesting. With regular rainfall at all times of the year, we need to be able to depend on reliable equipment that is highly efficient in all conditions. The new belt drive concept with loading torque sensor makes it possible to operate the JUMBO at maximum power at all times. The durability of the equipment depends a lot on how it is used, “I wanted the loader wagon to be able to constantly monitor the torque itself so that the driver is less fatigued.”

The cost effective process

A loader wagon can perform the tasks of crop collection, chopping, compaction and transport. That is why the loader wagon is often referred to as a two-person harvest system. The JUMBO is a multi-purpose loader wagon that meets the requirements of a fully-fledged transport wagon. This means that it can be used for a multitude of tasks apart from grassland harvesting. This ensures high machine utilisation and maximises the efficiency of your JUMBO. The loader wagon process guarantees the best quality forage and silage at low harvesting costs, making it the harvesting process of the future.

Better ensiling

It is in the silage process that the loader wagon really comes into its own. It can flexibly mix the areas to be harvested to generate a perfect mix of forage. To give the vehicles used for rolling sufficient time for compaction, the JUMBO can combine field to farm distances and adjoining areas. This guarantees best quality silage and prevents downtimes in the entire harvest chain. Because it achieves a high degree of compaction, up to 400 kg/m³, the JUMBO can transport far more crop than vehicles designed purely for transport. Transport with a JUMBO is therefore significantly more cost effective.

High output and cost-effectiveness are particularly important to us.

“We run the new JUMBO 7470 with a Fendt 933 and can load 18 to 19 tonnes of silage with a dry matter content of 35%. It takes the same time to load as its predecessor, the JUMBO 6010, but the load capacity with the new JUMBO is 50% higher. So on a good day we can harvest up to 40 hectares. We also like the JUMBO's wide pick-up and high loading speed. We can load at a driving speed of between 9 and 16 kph depending on the forage density, even if the swaths are high volume and irregular shapes. With the new JUMBO blockages are a thing of the past.”

The all-rounder

With the JUMBO you have great flexibility, improved machine utilisation and, in consequence, maximum cost effectiveness. You can also use the JUMBO as a robust transport and harvest transport wagon. By using it to transport large loads of wood chip, maize silage, rye silage or biomass you can greatly increase the time that your JUMBO is in operation and so cut costs. Removing the pick-up considerably increases transport capacity, quickly and easily. As a highly productive loader wagon and harvest transport wagon, the JUMBO provides you with a true master of all trades.

Front panel

The new front panel provides 4.3 m³ more volume. This means you get a loader wagon that is 1,350 mm shorter but has the same DIN volume. As a result, the loader wagon is significantly more compact and even more versatile. The higher net payloads increase cost effectiveness.

Powerful sensor technology

The additional functions are made possible by the installation of sensors that measure position, speed and power. An angle sensor for detecting the position of the pick-up and a speed sensor to control the hydraulic pick-up driveline help to harvest the forage conveniently and easily. A dynamometer bolt on the belt drive and the intelligent front panel support automated control of loading.

Parallel function

The new hydraulic block facilitates simultaneous operation of several functions. Pick-up driveline, scraper floor and front panel can be operated at the same time.

We only need one tractor for compaction

The higher number of knives ensures that the grass is chopped shorter. Silage making is a lot easier as a result because the grass can be compacted more easily. We used to use two tractors, and now we only need one tractor for compaction. Although the JUMBO 8000 is equipped with more knives, it turned out that no additional tractor power is needed with the new drive system. We still use the same tractor and it has no problems powering the loader wagon. So for us, the loader wagon has only advantages.

Controlled pick-up

The controlled floating pick-up has a pick-up width of 2,300 mm as standard. This ensures rapid and clean crop collection even from irregular or particularly wide swaths. The pick-up's hydraulically adjustable drive system adjusts speed automatically to the travelling speed. That is how the JUMBO guarantees a supremely comfortable ride as well as clean and tidy loss-free collection of crop in a single pass. The hydraulically controlled floating pick-up with a pick-up width of 2,300 mm according to DIN ensures maximum intake at every loading speed. Pick-up speed adapts as needed between 75 and 125 rpm. The 7-row floating pick-up with a working width of 2,300 mm according to DIN ensures maximum intake. The JUMBO’s pick-up delivers clean and tidy collection without losses in a single pass.

Clean pick-up

The pick-up tines on the JUMBO are controlled in a sweeping arc. This guarantees best possible sward protection and low crude ash ingress. Additionally, the speed is adapted to prevent needless tine wear. The interaction of the controlled pick-up with the floating pick-up suspension and the low pressure on the ground result in the cleanest possible collection of the crop. This ensures the contamination level is within the limit values of 80–100 g/kg of dry matter. 1% less crude ash at a yield of 7,500 kg DM/ha yields 300–350 litres more milk. With grass silage, a 1% increase in crude ash/kg DM translates into a reduction in energy concentration in the forage of approx. 0.1 MJ NEL/kg DM.

Cam track control

Best quality forage is guaranteed not just by great reliability but also by cam track control. Compared to other commercially available systems, it allows significantly greater floating and can be used at markedly lower speeds.

Ground tracking

Large arc of movement of +/- 3.5° corresponds to an arc of movement of 120 mm at the outer tine. The central suspension of the pick-up support frame and the two guide arms, one on each side, ensure perfect ground tracking.

Selectable jockey wheel linkage

The jockey wheel linkage can be adjusted depending on the application. You decide whether the pick-up should be coupled indirectly or directly.

Additional tracking roller

The additional tracking roller prevents the pick-up wheel from sinking into tractor wheel marks and enables unrestricted movement for best ground tracking.

Perfect ground tracking

Regardless of the terrain in which you use your JUMBO, the floating pick-up adapts perfectly to the ground contours and protects the crop against contamination. Hydraulic adjustable weight alleviation reduces pressure on the ground to approx. 100 kg, allowing the pick-up to float over the ground. The optional pick-up jockey wheel chassis with floating function features a patented parallel linkage for unique ground tracking.

120 mm floating pick-up

With its unique 120 mm floating pick-up, the JUMBO ensures perfect ground tracking and exact contouring. The floating function allows you to collect the cleanest possible forage, even in difficult terrain.

Trailing jockey wheels

The standard trailing jockey wheels are implemented as rigid to guide the pick-up cleanly over every bump in the ground.

Hydraulically folding

To help drivers when access to a field is narrow the jockey wheels can optionally be folded in hydraulically from the control terminal. The hydraulic folding trailing jockey wheel reduces the transport width at the pick-up to an outside dimension of 2.55 metres.

Jockey wheel linkage

The standard trailing jockey wheels feature two jockey wheel linkages. This allows you to make adjustments to suit your particular set-up. Pin-in-hole position "indirect" The raised jockey wheel is held at the same height as the pick-up tines, providing greater ground clearance. Pin-in-hole position "direct" The jockey wheel transfers every movement directly (1:1) to the pick-up drum. This significantly improves ground tracking.

Cam track

The shape of the cam track ensures optimum movement of the tines. The tines, which are controlled in a sweeping arc, will only take up crop at the correct angle if they are guided by a cam track. They convey the crop gently upwards and actively transfer it to the rotor at a suitable speed. The tine subsequently dips down at a right angle to prevent the forage from being drawn in.

Handling trolley

For optimum maintenance and service access, the pick-up, with a rigid jockey wheel, can be placed on and removed from a handling trolley which is available as an option. Removing the pick-up can reduce the JUMBO's weight by approx. 520 kg for transport mode. This considerably increases the net load capacity. Combining it with an optional additional tracking roller can even save as much as 580 kg. Removing the pick-up when the JUMBO is used purely for transport purposes also prevents it from being damaged.

Safely through all operating conditions

The 7 row pick-up is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track. Its tines are slightly trailed to sweep in a controlled arc. The pick-up’s hydraulic driveline automatically adjusts the speed to the travelling speed or can be adjusted manually. This guarantees maximum performance at high travelling speeds, as well as constant intake. The JUMBO delivers reliable crop harvesting under all kinds of operating conditions, whether the crop is wilted silage, wet silage (< 30% DM), whole crop or straw.

Ground clearance

The JUMBO is a hugely versatile multi-purpose rotor loader wagon that can be deployed in all conditions including difficult terrain. When developing the brake system particular attention was paid to greatest possible ground clearance. All essential brake components are located above the axle centreline. This ensures that they are well protected and will work reliably.

Duct cover

An optional duct cover prevents crop from falling into the rotor duct while the wagon is being used for transport. 2-part design for easy handling.

Removable pick-up

The optional handling trolley allows you to fit or remove rigid jockey wheels on the pick-up easily and in only 15 minutes. This reduces the weight by up to 580 kg (pick-up incl. optional additional tracking roller). The payload is increased significantly. If the pick-up has been removed, a rotor cover must be fitted as protection against contamination. The loader wagon can then be switched to transport mode. The handling trolley also makes servicing easier.

Power without compromise

The concept of the new JUMBO was based around the two requirements throughput and mass flow. The impressive new drive train enables significantly improved performance compared to previous models. The innovative drive system with a belt drive and angular/planetary gears in the rotor delivers maximum power coupled with extremely quiet and smooth operation.

Controlled power transmission

Thanks to their soft start characteristics, the rotor and beater driveline can be switched on and off even under load. The damping effect of the Powerband protects the components and ensures a long service life. The torque measurement system informs you of the current torque of the loading rotor.

Performance at a new level

The JUMBO has been designed for maximum performance and the greatest efficiency. All the core components have been completely redesigned and subjected to thorough trials on tractors producing up to 500 hp.

Belt drive with angular/planetary gears

Modern and innovative drive concept for tractors producing up to 500 hp. The loading torque can be adjusted as required.

Loading system

Maximum throughput thanks to the extended transfer throat and the large rotor with a diameter of 850 mm.

Beaters

The beater driveline with 210 kW of power and the new soft-start drive train protect the driveline components. The new beater rotors with V-twist ensure optimum beating and rapid unloading even with high compaction.

Power transfer reinvented

The innovative, unique drive concept has been designed for tractors rated from 200 to 500 hp. This means that the JUMBO can be operated with a wide range of tractors. The driveline has a double wide-angle PTO shaft without a clutch and is powered by a Powerband. Optimum power transmission to the rotor is ensured by angular/planetary gears in the rotor drive. The Powerband delivers maximum power transfer in all operating conditions. It ensures smooth running and a damping effect in changing operating conditions. This protects the mechanics and reduces maintenance and wear costs to a minimum.

Special overload protection system

A PTO shaft with an overload protection system is subjected to extreme wear-intensive stress when used in high-performance harvesting equipment. The angling of the PTO shaft during operation produces torsional vibrations which prematurely trigger the overload protection system and negatively impact throughput. PÖTTINGER therefore decided to remove the overload protection from the PTO shaft and integrate it directly in a fixed position in front of the angular/planetary gearbox. The result is optimum protection of all drive components against unnecessary stress and wear-intensive blockages. Irregular swaths can be picked up with no reduction in speed and no losses, even when cornering. This increases loading efficiency enormously.

Powerband

The 6-groove high-performance belt has been designed for extra long life and guarantees reliable power transmission. It can cope with the toughest demands and also ensures smooth running in all operating conditions. Operating noise is reduced to a minimum. The belt’s damping effect in changing swath conditions benefits loading performance. The Powerband is maintenance-free.

Soft start

Thanks to its soft start, the drive belt enables operation of the rotor and rear beaters even under full load. There is consequently no need to advance the scraper floor when unloading with beater rotors. The scraper floor chains and drivelines are protected, which significantly increases both reliability and the service life of all components. The drive belt on the JUMBO makes a conventional clutch system unnecessary.

PTO shaft without overload clutch

The innovative design of the drive belt means that no overload clutch is needed on the PTO shaft. Conventional systems lose as much as 20% of torque owing to angling and the resultant vibrations, especially when cornering. The JUMBO is therefore able to draw on the full torque of 3,000 Nm on the 7000 series and 3,500 Nm on the 8000 series, whatever the operating conditions.

It simply moves more

The heart of the JUMBO series is robust, powerful and designed for almost unlimited tractor power. The rotor and its innovative driveline provide high throughput, perfect chopping quality and, if required, the highest possible compaction. Thanks to the wide, edged areas at the 12 mm or 10 mm wide tine tips on the 8-row rotor, it takes over the crop actively and reliably from the pick-up, even if the crop is wet and short. The rotor tines are arranged in a helix formation, with a diameter of 850 mm to guide the forage smoothly through the 34 mm or 25 mm short-chop chopping system. The rotor is mounted directly on the chopping system frame in order to protect the rotor drive as much as possible even under heavy load. A tine form that has been optimised still further, combined with the largest possible scraper surface in the loading chamber, makes compaction of over 400 kg/m³ possible if required.

Driveline

The rotor is powered by angular/planetary gears which lower the high PTO speed to the ideal rotor speed. On the JUMBO range with beater driveline, the forward-mounted angular gearbox also features a through shaft and an integrated switch. When the beater driveline is activated, the maintenance-free clutch engages, the drive belt starts softy and unloading begins. The components are protected and a long service life guaranteed.

Loading rotor

75% of the rotor’s width is fitted with a new high-strength case-hardened steel which ensures high wear resistance in areas subjected to a lot of wear. This increases service life by 25%.

Transfer throat

The transfer throat has been widened by 100 mm, thereby allowing even greater throughput than its predecessor. It guarantees a high level of efficiency during chopping and allows shorter chopped length at edge than other, wider commercially available loading systems.

Chopping unit rear wall

The chopping unit rear wall on the JUMBO consists of wear-resistant fine-grained steel. This greatly increases the service life.

Flat link chains

The wide flat link chains with a breaking load of 13 t provide great stability, maximum reliability and smooth running. The scraper floor slats are double-bolted and rest on exchangeable guide bars. Its high power transmission and robust construction make the JUMBO suitable for transporting all kinds of chopped material.

Powerful driveline

The beater rotors are driven by the rotor drive train. The rotors are switched on by engaging the driveline at the rotor gearbox through drive. Due to the soft start of the Powerband, the rotor driveline can also be engaged under full load. The drive train is designed for 210 kW and is protected by a cam-type clutch.

Smooth driveline

Thanks to the soft start by the Powerband, the beater rotors can also be engaged under full load, without the scraper floor moving first. This protects the scraper floor components and also means unloading in the clamp is faster. Robust and large-dimensioned chains ensure positive and uniform power transmission right up to the top beater rotor. Each drive chain is continuously tensioned by a chain tensioner. This ensures optimum power transmission and smooth running.

Strong design

The V-shaped arrangement of the aggressive rotor teeth ensures effective disintegration of the compacted crop from the loading chamber. The loose material can be more easily redistributed and compacted in the clamp. Paddle bars connect the individual rotor teeth and increase throughput.

Perfect working results

An optional 3rd beater rotor improves the unloading sequence even further. It ensures that the full height of the crop inside the loading chamber is loosened and discharged uniformly into the clamp. Redistribution of the forage is usually not required. That saves time.

Perfect chopping quality

In addition to the great importance of the optimum dry matter content, the chopped length of the forage has a significant influence on the quality of the grass silage. This reduces the rumination time and makes it easier for the rumen to process. Both parameters lead to faster pH reduction, which reduces the risk of fermentation errors and has a positive effect on the stability of the grass silage. This lays the foundation for high dry matter intake.

34 or 25 mm chopped length

The JUMBO is the ideal choice for the highest forage quality thanks to the short-chop chopping system with a theoretical chopped length of 34 mm on the 7000 series and 25 mm on the 8000 series. The long arc of the knives ensures a slicing cut along the full length of the knife edge. The forage is chopped right through exactly and uniformly. The forage has the optimum structure for ruminants.

Actively driven feed augers

The feed augers deliver optimum crop flow even at high travelling speeds. The transfer throat is filled with maximum efficiency, thus increasing chopping quality.

Tines

The optimised DURASTAR pick-up tines with a wire thickness of 6 mm enable a 20% longer service life with consistently high collection quality. This cuts wear costs.

Feed augers

Large diameter feed augers on each side actively merge the swaths. The compact swath is evenly distributed across the full width of the transfer throat as it is fed to the rotor. That is how the JUMBO achieves the best short chopping quality.

34 mm chopped length

With the proven POWERCUT short-chop chopping system, a JUMBO 7000 series is the ideal solution for highest throughputs with low power requirements and the best chopping quality. The 48 knives are arranged asymmetrically to the rotor tines for clean and tidy chopping action and are individually protected against foreign objects.

Patented individual knife protection system

The knife protection system is operated by a trigger mechanism and provides double protection: the knife is first damped and then swung out of the interlock. Afterwards it is automatically returned to its original position.

25 mm chopped length

With its 65-knife POWERCUT short-chop chopping system, the JUMBO 8000 series is the first choice for the highest silage quality. The knives are individually protected against foreign objects even with the small knife spacing of only 25 mm.

Knife quality

The knives are designed for optimum throughput and made of hardened DURASTAR tool steel. The serrated edge ensures a consistent and precise chop. The extra thick rear edge of the knife guarantees maximum reliability.

Individual knife protection

PÖTTINGER protects your loader wagon with our patented individual knife protection system. Foreign objects are a danger to your livestock and the loader wagon. Moreover, downtime is costly and reduces the quality of the forage. The triggering force of the knife protection system is adapted to the high throughput capacity. The knives are held in the correct position to make sure that they chop consistently. The knife retention springs and rollers on the individual knife protection system are swung safely out of the way. This greatly reduces the contamination of the knife holders. Any stones in the forage are not pulverised. The livestock leave the foreign objects untouched at the feed barrier, thus preventing injuries to the digestive tract.

Twin blade

Turnover instead of replace with the optional TWIN BLADE reversible knives on the JUMBO 7000. Its new and patented shape gives you double the service life. With TWIN BLADE you have a fresh blade to hand without needing to sharpen the knives or to have a second set with you.

AUTOCUT – fully automatic knife sharpening system

A precise and consistent chop is the basis for the best silage quality. AUTOCUT ensures that you and your customer have chopping quality that remains consistently high all day long. Only really sharp knives can guarantee optimum chopping quality, lower power consumption and increased output. The AUTOCUT knife sharpening system is a convenient way of sharpening the knives fully automatically on the loader wagon itself. The number of sharpening cycles can easily be preset using the control terminal, depending on the wear on the knife. You can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% by using knives that are always sharp. Maintenance work is reduced by about 45 minutes per day, because automatic sharpening can take place during a break.

Reliable and dependable

As soon as the large rotor with its optimised tine contour has taken up the forage from the pick-up, it feeds it gradually through the 34 or 25 mm short-chop chopping system. Should foreign objects enter the crop flow, the patented individual knife protection system lets them pass through and automatically returns the knife to the starting position. This ensures that the loader wagon and knives are effectively protected against damage and costly downtimes are avoided.

Better compaction

The 30% shorter chop length of the JUMBO 8000 compared to the JUMBO 7000 enables faster distribution and compaction of the crop in the clamp. The shorter-cut material is easier to compact because it contains fewer air pockets thanks to its higher bulk density. This leads to a faster pH value reduction to maintain high silage quality.

Less servicing

During development of the third JUMBO generation, the topic of maintenance was very much in the spotlight. Number of gearboxes on board has been halved The front sprockets run on sealed bearings Rear scraper floor shaft bearings with central greasing points at the side. Service life at specific wear points such as the pick-up tines, the loading rotor, the knife steel quality, the chopping unit rear wall and the scraper floor has been increased considerably.

Lighting

The lights on the JUMBO have all been switched to LED, ensuring that the lamps have a long service life. This saves money and reduces maintenance. The powerful illumination provided by LED lights means you have light where you really need it.

Optimum intake angle

As the loading chamber fills up, the drawbar load applied to the tractor increases. This leads to increased compression of the rear tyres and takes the weight off the tractor’s front tyres. As a result, the coupling point on the tractor tilts downwards, changing the angle between the pick-up and the rotor. An automatic control system constantly monitors the intake cross-section and compensates for deviations by raising the parallel lift drawbar. This means that the intake between the pick-up and the rotor always has the optimum cross-section.

Harvest transport mode

In transport mode, only all transport-relevant functions are displayed in the Work menu. In this mode, the JUMBO is driven just like a transport wagon. To give the driver a clear view from the tractor into the loading chamber or for driving in under the harvester auger in harvest transport mode, the compression flap can be hydraulically folded forwards. Due to the extremely low pivot point of the flap, you have the best view of the chopped material. An optional load containment system is recommended for transport on the road.

Load containment system

The newly designed loading chamber cover quickly covers the load and secures it ready for transport on the road. The large overlap area of the nets also secures loads that extend above the side panels. The drive system is centrally mounted and compactly integrated in the wagon’s superstructure so that it is well protected.

Hydraulic steered axles

The hydraulic steered axles guarantee absolute reliability and excellent tracking while protecting the sensitive sward. They feature a track rod with a K50 ball head coupling. Thanks to the telescoping automatic interlock, the loader wagon can easily be removed by only one person.

Electronic steered axles

A high level of stability when driving at high speeds and the best manoeuvrability in tight corners are provided by the speed-dependent steering angle adjustment system of the electronic steered axles. A safety steering computer controls the turning angle together with a hydraulic unit, the steering cylinders, and an angle sensor on the steered axle.

Intelligent trailed axles

With the “intelligent trailed axles” driver assist system, the loader wagon autonomously detects movement. It allows automatic axle locking under all operating conditions, even without a speed signal from the tractor. A direction-of-rotation sensor detects the speed of forward and backward travel and locks the axle within the previously defined speed range. Additionally, the inclination sensor locks the axle when the defined inclination is reached, and if the defined inclination value is exceeded, a warning can be displayed on the control terminal screen.

Parabolic spring chassis 26.5"

The compensator arm on the parabolic leaf spring chassis ensures dynamic load distribution. When braking, the same load acts on each wheel, achieving excellent deceleration values. With an axle compensation of 110 mm, the chassis provides perfect suspension characteristics in the clamp, ensuring smooth running in the field and on the road. The trailed axles protect the sward even with heavy loads (standard).

Anti roll bar

The anti roll bar provides 20% greater driving stability, optimal load distribution, and improved handling on steep ground and during cornering. A torsion bar on each axle connects the springs on each end to the chassis frame, transferring pressure automatically to the opposite end when loads act on it.

Hydro-pneumatic chassis

The hydro-pneumatic chassis offers a wide support spacing for safe handling, exceptional stability on steep ground, and enhanced safety when driving at high speeds. An impressive increase in driving comfort has been achieved by fine-tuning the suspension characteristics. Using different hydraulic accumulators for when the loader wagon is empty versus when it is full noticeably increases driving comfort. The chassis with hydro-pneumatic suspension developed by PÖTTINGER absorbs shock loads in the field and on the road, providing markedly greater shock-absorbing comfort than rigid systems that only use tyre suspension. Additionally, the tyres experience less wear, and the machine follows smoothly in the tractor’s tracks.

Stable on steep ground

Instead of relying on a complicated and sluggish hydraulically engaged slope compensation, the JUMBO uses mechanics to guarantee an immediate response. The unique mechanical anti roll bar effect is achieved through the integration of longitudinal linkage springs on the chassis, the bolted connection of the axles, and the wide spring spacing.

Compensation

The hydro-pneumatic axle compensation ensures uniform wheel pressure in all operating situations. In particular, less pulling power is needed when driving away from a silo plant, making it the best way to maximize the loader wagon’s climbing ability.

Suspension

Especially when loading up to 20 t of crop and driving at speeds of up to 65 kph, top-quality vehicle suspension that functions reliably regardless of load status is crucial. What makes this chassis special is the fine-tuning of suspension characteristics when the wagon is empty or full, resulting in supremely smooth running, a comfortable ride, and greater safety when driving.

Tandem chassis

With the hydro-pneumatic tandem chassis, an axle load of 20 t and an overall weight of 24 t is possible. To further reduce rolling resistance, 30.5" diameter tyres can be mounted as an option. Compared to 26.5" tyres, ground pressure is marginally reduced. The trailed axles protect the sward even with heavy loads (standard), and the outstanding feature of this chassis is its tremendous manoeuvrability in the field.

Weighing system

The JUMBO's optional weighing system is available for the hydro-pneumatic tandem and tridem chassis. It enables dynamic weighing as a rough guide while driving and provides exact measurements when parked. If the maximum value defined by you is exceeded, a warning is displayed on the control terminal, accompanied by an acoustic signal.

Electronic steered axles on the tridem

EZL steering programmes for tridem axle:Normal steeringCrab steeringOffset Normal steering: This programme is not always automatically activated, as the steering angle is regulated according to speed. Crab steering sets the same steering angle for all steered axles, while Offset is a special steering programme used for anti roll compensation when driving on a slant.

Lift axle tridem

The lift axle minimizes wear on the tyres when the wagon is empty. In difficult terrain, it can be deployed to temporarily increase the drawbar load and the tractor’s traction. A safety pressure valve automatically lowers the lift axle in the event of an overload to protect the tractor, and the system is operated conveniently from the control terminal.
