Harvesting Systems

R1 Single-Plot Rotary Combine

Harvest up to 30% faster than alternative plot combines with the ALMACO R1 Single-Plot Rotary Combine. Even when operating at faster harvest speeds, this combine produces cleaner samples, has an easier cleanout, and delivers less seed damage and lower seed loss than competitive models. With easy-to-change concaves and simple interchangeable head designs, the R1 is ideal for use in seed research programs with multiple crops. Self-cleaning, top-fed rotor design enables earlier harvest of large green plants, tough stems, and high plant foliage. Seed researches gain an increased harvest window and can start harvesting plots earlier for faster advancement decisions.

Benefits

Multi-Crop Dependability

Ideal for corn, soybeans, wheat, cereal, sorghum, canola, and more, this is the industry’s only true multi-crop platform. Changing harvest crop is made easy with smart header recognition and can take a single person less than two minutes. Just simply swap out sieves and adjust the concaves and it’s on to the next crop.

Maintenance Made Easy

Extensive diagnostic systems include operating system alerts, diagnostic alerts, and other operational settings. Service points are easily accessible and are designed to protect your uptime.
