Ruppert explains that because
of their mechanical simplicity,
Axial-Flow combines incorporate
fewer moving parts than
conventional designs or more
complex rotary and hybrid
machines. This makes them
simpler to operate, more reliable
and less costly to maintain.

EASIER, FASTER, CHEAPER
All service points on the new
4000-Series models can be
reached from the ground
or a single step, making
routine maintenance easier,
faster, cheaper and safer than
with other types of combine
harvester. This results in more
time spent harvesting and
higher output potential.
