Harvesting Systems

R2 Twin-Plot Rotary Combine

The R2 Twin-Plot Rotary Combine is a game changer in the seed research industry. It operates at faster harvest speeds while producing less seed damage, cleaner samples, easier cleanout, and lower seed loss than competitive models. With two separate multi-speed independent rotor chambers, there is no side-by-side crossover and plot-to-plot carryover is undetectable. The self-cleaning, top-fed rotor design enables earlier harvest of large green plants, tough stems, and high plant foliage. With an increased harvest window, start harvesting plots earlier for faster advancement decisions. The Final Tier 4 275-hp Cummins engine and 4-wheel drive advanced torque king keep operations running at maximum efficiency while the premium R2 cab is designed for the unique needs of seed research professionals.

Benefits

Run Stronger for Longer

The R2 Twin-Plot Rotary Combine is the largest research combine in the industry and is designed for ultimate uptime. With the flip of a switch from the comfort of your cab, grain tank extenders are available to help you reach a 300-bushel maximum grain tank capacity for increased run time.

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 an exclusive auto header recognition platform and can take a single person less than two minutes. Just simply swap out single 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. With only four belts and zero chain drives to manage, maintenance is simple. Service points are easily accessible with an automated rear platform ladder and a large platform around the power unit. A reversible hydraulically driven fan can also be adjusted from the cab to clear debris.

Features

Harvest Data You Can Trust

Exclusively from ALMACO, the patent-pending top-fed rotary design provides over a 99.9% cleanout. The R2 is also a true twin-plot combine, not a split. Seed chambers are completely independent with no risk or side-by-side contamination. Virtually no carryover from plot to plot means better data and more certainty in advancement decisions.
