Called the Tersus 4000, the new models will replace existing FRO versions, and with it the range brings several improvements to market. These include a fixed driveline on the gearbox to replace a telescopic shaft previously used with side-shift; manual adjustment of the multi-vee belt drive; and the option of a rubber stone guard that sits behind the rear roller.
The Tersus range includes three models – Tersus 4023, 4028 and 4032 - offering working widths of 2.3m, 2.8m and 3.25m respectively. All models include 500mm of hydraulic side-shift delivering 250mm either side of centre, and are suited to tractors from 80-170hp.
Maintaining the same balanced rotor, flail tip speed and hood design from the out-going FRO series, the improvements introduced on Tersus models have been engineered to further boost durability. Doing so affords a simpler and more robust driveline, along with easier maintenance.
Tersus models can be front- or rear-mounted without need for any conversion, and the introduction of an optional, full-width rubber guard behind the rear roller offers greater protection from flying stones and similar tough debris often encountered during operation.
Kverneland’s Tersus flail choppers can be equipped with conventional hammer flails, or universal Y-type flails. Starting price for the Tersus range is from £12,009.
