Storm 75

Unique drive

The flywheel, feed rollers and pre-compaction rollers as well as the cutting rollers are all driven from PTO shafts and gearboxes with oil baths, i.e. no chains at all. This means: minimal wear and tear, minor maintenance as well as optimum stability. For operations with a PTO extension, the lateral PTO shaft can be dismounted.

Self-sharpening chopping unit, intake with optimal pre-compaction

The Lely Storm 75 features two self-grinding, serrated cutting discs to chop the maize stalk in a clean manner. Two feed rollers plus spring-loaded compaction rollers ensure a steady crop flow towards the flywheel as well as optimal compaction before chopping. The feed rollers and pre-compaction rollers are driven from a maintenance-free gearbox with hardened spur gears plus oil bath. As standard, the torpedo feature tips for flat-lying maize. A device for lifting maize stalks is available as an optional extra.

Overload safety

The complete crop intake system is protected by means of an overload safety system. This means that a cumbersome change of shear pins is not necessary; harvesting can be resumed as soon as the blockage is freed.

Twelve blades for precise chopping

Thanks to its stable chopping unit, the Lely Storm ensures an excellent forage structure and, hence, optimum quality. Twelve special blades, adjustable rasp bars as well as a tungsten-carbide coated shear bar (that can be used on two sides) ensure exact chopping of the crop. Cutting length can be adjusted easily and comfortably (5.0 or 7.5 mm) by means of the gearbox for chopping length adjustment.

Shredder plates for total crushing of ripe kernels

For operations in hard maize, two shredder plates – which can be inserted into the bottom of the flywheel housing – make sure that even kernels with a very high dry matter content are fully crushed.

Sharpening and adjusting – simple, fast and efficient

Grinding and adjusting; mere child's play as well as extremely fast. Thanks to the built-in sharpening device, the blades are sharpened in next to no time. The centrally adjustable flywheel is easily set to the shear bar with one simple action.

Chopping length adjustment

Gearbox with oil bath, overload protection for crop intake system. Adjustment of chopping length: 5.0 or 7.5 mm.

Comfortable cable control

Both the spout and the ejection flap can be adjusted infinitely from the tractor cab by means of a cable control. A hydraulic spout adjustment is available as an optional extra.
