Efficiency Meets Accuracy: Why Public Institutions Choose the Quantum Core Plot Combine

Seed research plays a crucial role in the development of new crop varieties and agricultural advancements. Public institutions, such as the government, research organizations, and universities, are at the forefront of this important work. To achieve optimal results, these institutions require reliable and efficient equipment that can handle the complexities of seed research. This is where the medium size high performance WINTERSTEIGER Quantum Core plot combine comes in, offering a range of benefits specifically tailored to meet the needs of public institutions.

 

Value for Money

One of the primary considerations for public institutions is the budget. The Quantum Core plot combine from WINTERSTEIGER is competitively priced, offering an array of specifications at an affordable cost. With a price tag of $264,500.00, it features a 75HP Deutz 2.9L water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine, smart 4WD ground drive, a 5ft platform header, and cereal/soybean equipment. Additionally, it comes equipped with Harvest Master H2 Classic for weight, moisture, test weight, and Mirus software, ensuring accurate data collection. Wintersteiger also offers attractive lease options on this combine in North America, allowing institutions to choose between seasonal leases or lease-to-own agreements.

 

Economical

With an eye on reducing carbon emissions, the Quantum Core is equipped with a diesel particulate filter and a diagnostics interface. This allows the engine to meet the latest emissions standard without a DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) system. A 26-gallon fuel tank ensures maximal runtime. Thanks to the engine's low fuel consumption and the large fuel tank, you can complete a long day's harvest without refueling!

Reliability

When it comes to research projects, reliability is paramount. The Quantum Core plot combine boasts a heavy-duty built frame and axles, weighing approximately 8,600 lbs. It is designed to withstand the demanding nature of seed research. The machine's 75HP mechanical drive ensures durability and long-lasting performance. The WINTERSTEIGER OptiFlow(r) header with belt feeder and OptiFlow(r) high performance threshing unit enable maximum throughput, even under the most difficult harvesting conditions. The optimized material flow offers improved material flow and higher throughput at the same time.

 

To further enhance reliability, WINTERSTEIGER provides preseason maintenance services, minimizing the risk of breakdowns during the crucial research season. Institutions can rest easy knowing that their machine has been serviced by the manufacturer each season leaving little or no need for in-season local assistance.

 

User-friendly in-cab features of the WINTERSTEIGER Quantum Core

 

Simplicity in Operation and Service

Public institutions often involve researchers with varying levels of technical expertise. The Quantum Core plot combine addresses this by offering user-friendly features. A 5" color display simplifies combine settings, enabling easy operation. The combine is equipped with a self-diagnosing state-of-the-art CAN bus system, which aids in troubleshooting and maintenance. Moreover, the hydraulic clutch reduces complexity by idling down when engaged. For service and maintenance, the engine is conveniently located in the rear and accessible from all sides. Spare parts are readily available in the United States, and factory service is also an option.

Superior Sample Cleaning

Accurate data collection heavily relies on clean samples. The Quantum Core plot combine excels in this area with its large concave separating area. It incorporates a gentle beater drum that minimizes straw damage and reduces the presence of small particles. This design enhances throughput capacity and minimizes the need for secondary cleaning. Additionally, the combine features air foil cyclones for further cleaning, ensuring there is no seed grinding during the process.

 

Cross Contamination Prevention

Maintaining seed purity is of utmost importance in seed research. The WINTERSTEIGER Quantum Core plot combine employs a unique shaker-walker combination that facilitates fast material movement while preventing cross contamination. Its automatic alley management system, based on sensor technology, further enhances seed purity during harvest. Radar seed detection sensors in the main and back delivery tubes prevent mixing, ensuring the integrity of each sample.

 

Easy Machine Cleaning

Efficiency in research work demands quick and hassle-free cleaning processes. The Quantum Core plot combine is designed with this in mind. The header can be detached in less than 5 minutes, facilitating easy maintenance and cleaning. The grain tank's bottom can be opened from the side, allowing for complete discharge. The shaker is easily removable in two pieces, simplifying cleaning operations. Moreover, the engine covers can be removed from three sides and the top, providing convenient access for servicing. The machine also includes compressed air as a standard feature, with couplers placed strategically around the machine for easy access.

 

Improved Plot Cycle Time

Efficient plot cycle time is crucial for public institutions engaged in seed research. The Quantum Core plot combine offers features specifically designed to optimize cycle times. Its 400mm threshing drum diameter ensures effective threshing and separation, enabling faster processing of plots. The combine's 75HP engine delivers high-performance capabilities, particularly in high-yield and biomass plots where power is essential. Additionally, the Quantum Core plot combine utilizes a sensor-based gate cycle system, replacing traditional timers. This sensor technology allows for precise monitoring and adjustment of the plot cycle, ensuring that low-yield plots cycle faster than high-yield plots. The result is enhanced efficiency and improved overall productivity for research institutions.

Safety

The safety of their researchers and staff is a high priority for public institutions and universities. The Quantum Core plot combine prioritizes safety through its design and features. The cabin is TOPS (TipOver Protection Structure) certified, meeting the recommendations set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This certification ensures that the cabin provides adequate protection to operators in the event of a rollover or other accidents. Additionally, the combine is equipped with a door on each side of the cabin, allowing for quick and easy emergency exits. These safety measures provide peace of mind to operators and institutions, ensuring a secure working environment during seed research activities.

 

The WINTERSTEIGER Quantum Core plot combine offers a comprehensive solution for public institutions engaged in seed research. This advanced combine provides value for money, reliability, ease of operation and service, superior sample cleaning, cross contamination prevention, efficient machine cleaning, improved plot cycle time, and enhanced safety. With its competitive pricing, attractive financing and lease options, and a range of features tailored to meet the unique requirements of public institutions, the Quantum Core plot combine is poised to take seed research to the next level. Public institutions can now embark on their research endeavors with confidence, knowing that they have a reliable and efficient partner.
