2023 Case IH Pull-Type Forage Harvester HDX3R

The Case IH FHX300 pull-type forage harvester swiftly harvests crops. The 1,000 rpm driveline, heavy-duty components and wide crop heads harness big-tractor horsepower and turn it into high-capacity harvesting performance.

The Case IH FHX300 pull-type forage harvester delivers a uniform cut that yields high-quality feed and makes blowing, storage and feeding easier.

Features may include:

A powerful 1,000-rpm blower moves crops quickly to fill wagons and trucks fast. Works efficiently regardless of whether you’re working in wet, heavy hay or an easy-to-blow crop like corn.

• How it works:

• Detector stops feedrolls within a fraction of a second — before metal can damage the cutterhead.

• The sensor and electromagnet in the front lower feedroll emits a constant magnetic field between the two stainless-steel lower feedrolls.

• A light and horn alert you when metal is detected, and a signal is sent to the solenoid to stop the feedrolls.

• Power is shut off to an electric clutch on the reversing gearbox that shifts to neutral and stops the power to the feedroll drive.

• The feedroll control switch allows you to back the material out of the feedrolls.

• After metal is removed, the detector resets automatically.

• By removing the material baffle and the processor drive belt, you can chop haylage.

Crop coming from the cutterhead is propelled between two 8 in (203-mm)-diameter fluted rolls. The top roll turns 15 percent faster than the bottom roll , providing the scuffing action necessary to crack kernels and break cob pieces . This results in:

• Better fermentation

• More effective fiber in the ration

• Feed that’s easier for livestock to digest

• Points float over ground contours

• Skid shoes are adjustable to eliminate bulldozing

• Gathers cornstalks planted on 28 to 32 in (711 to 813 mm) row spacing

• Gathering chains reach forward to grasp cornstalks and feed smoothly into feedrolls

• Cutting discs shear corn close to the ground

• Discs are spring loaded

• Allows discs to move out of the way when an obstacle is encountered

• Right- and left-hand power dividers ensure heavy crop flows into feedrolls
