The new drum mower KM 3140 FP from FELLA has an innovative and fresh appearance – but that is not all. The machine also has an optimised form of protective cloth: windproofing qualities and more free space for easier access to the mower drum. Visually, the new front-mounted drum mower is appearing in the new red – all the new machines are in this colour – and provided with the new FELLA labelling.

“The revised design of our new KM 3140 FP is more than just an aesthetic correction“, says Bernhard Kohl, Head of Research and Development at FELLA, “We want to underline our continual striving for progress with appearance and colour. Always fulfilling the very highest technical and technological standards to make daily work substantially easier for our customers and at the same time producing top quality products, that is our central aim.“

The new SM 991 TL mower combination is fitted with safetySwing impact protection.

This new impact protection is characterised by the fact that both mower units, which are axially suspended, can independently swerve when striking an obstacle. The mower unit swerves back and up around a slanting axle. The functional principle of the slanting axle protects the drive shafts, which drive the mower units, from damage.

Following the motto "High-quality basic feed through professional technology" FELLA is focussing on innovation.

This year too, this has once again resulted in important developments in the field of forage harvesting machines for Alpine use:

The front-mounted disc mower SM 210 FK-S is specially adapted to smaller 2-axle mowers and is ideal for towing performances of approx. 30 to 45 kW. Due to its slight weight of only 380 kg and thanks to the very compact mount the centre of gravity lies close to the tractor and ensures stable handling even on slopes. For accurate connection alignment, the SM 210 FK-S is equipped with mechanical lateral shifting as standard, which can be upgraded with hydraulic operation.

Entirely without an inner skid; that is how FELLA-Werke GmbH is presenting its newly developed series of disc rotary mowers. With the two models SM 2460 ISL and SM 2870 ISL the specialist for forage harvesting machines from Feucht is offering two mowers with spur-geared drive and without inner skids for three-point hitching.

“Our customers have drawn our attention to the difficulty of harvesting in difficult terrain. So it was more than obvious for us to tackle this subject and to develop a genuine alternative. So the solution that suggested itself was for us to design a series of disc rotary mowers that make the work easier for the user, without an inner skid, but nevertheless produce outstanding quality“, says Product Manager Thomas Beckert, explaining the development of the new models.

With three new TurboLift mowers, the SM 3060 TL, SM 3570 TL and SM 4080 TL, FELLA-Werke GmbH is extending its product range with a high-performance series in the disc mower segment. What is special here is that in the transport position, the mowing unit swings 90 degrees backwards. The newly developed disc mowers have a working width of 3.0 m, 3.50 m and 4.0 m and 6, 7 or 8 mowing discs. The hydro-pneumatics called “TurboLift“ here relieve the load on the mowing bars.

The Head of Research and Development of the Feucht-based company, Bernhard Kohl, emphasises the importance of the new TurboLift mowers: “FELLA has developed this series in order to enable even load distribution on the tractor - with increasing working widths - compared with hydraulic, high-swinging systems.“

The agricultural machinery specialist FELLA is using this year’s Agritechnica in Hannover as an opportunity to present its new turbo tedder TH 13010 Trans.

“Compactness“ with a large working width – that is how the machine can be described in a nutshell. The new tedder with transport chassis is distinguished above all by its small transport length, which is made possible by double folding of the frame halves. The machine thus lays horizontally and compactly upon the chassis when transported, which is especially noticeable and helpful when driving on roads: the TH 13010 Trans has excellent steering handling and that is with the considerable working width of 12.70 m.

Unlike the previous models the new turbo tedder now has ten spinners instead of eight, – two more spinners – each with six arms and tine loss prevention as standard.

Fast and efficient, that is how one can accurately describe the new medium-sized rake TS 10055 from FELLA. This new machine from the agricultural machinery specialist is the only one on the market to have 18-inch wheels on the rotor chassis. The TS 10055 backs up its special status with a driving speed of up to 50 km/h and the enormous working width of 8.80 m to 10.0 m, which can be hydraulically adjusted.

Head of Research and Development Bernhard Kohl: “This model type is entirely new in our product portfolio. The machine caters to the demand for larger working widths and has a particularly high power of impact. So it was more than natural for us to develop a medium-sized rake that meets precisely these requirements.“ This is also the reason why the Feucht-based company will also continue to devote special attention to the designing of machines with enlarged working widths – in order to be able to support even more mass and thereby allow the harvesting machines following after to work more efficiently.

With the new TS 880 PRO, FELLA-Werke GmbH has developed a two-rotor medium-sized rake that is perfectly suited to particularly difficult conditions and terrain.

The differences to the previous model in this series, the TS 880, are to be found in a rotor chassis adapted to extreme requirements, with six instead of four wheels with 18-inch tires. When harvesting straw and working under other difficult conditions, the machines are subjected to enormous strain and therefore require technology and equipment that is different from what would be sufficient for normal use. Because the plough tracks in cereal fields are very hard during harvesting, steerable nose wheels on the rake can roll outside the track. The rigid nose wheel of the TS 880 PRO counteracts this and ensures steadier running and thus less wear on the machine. The tandem axles with larger external width and larger wheel base decisively improve adjustment to the ground. “It has become evident that special technical equipment is necessary, depending on use and terrain“, says Thomas Beckert, Product Manager of FELLA, “In order to always achieve the best quality results in all areas, with grass as well as with straw, and to protect the machine even under extreme strain, we have developed the new two-rotor medium-sized rakes..."
