The BotoSun and BotoSun SK series sunflower adapters are designed for high capacity sunflower harvest. The SK marking indicates folding equipment. BotoSUN series adapters are manufactured in the different configurations as you can see below: • Fix adapters in: 4, 5, 6, 8,10, 12 row versions with spacings of  70 and 76cm. • Folding adapters in: 6 and 8 row versions, with spacings of 70 and 76cm. Each row unit features a gathering chain providing smooth material flow to the rotary knife mechanism and clean cut of the sunflower stems. Lightweight row dividers assembled with vibrating catch pans minimize shattering loss, furthermore provide smooth and uniform material flow to the gathering conveyor and the feeder house. The low profile floating lifters minimize harvest loss even at lodged down crop conditions. The side panels of the adapter work as excellent row dividers eliminating loss or fall-out of the sunflower heads from the adapter at the side rows.Advantages of harvesting with BotoSUN adapters: • Low rate of harvest loss; • Ease of operation; • Quick detachable – no tools required; • Ease of maintenance; • High technical reliability; • Plugging-free operation at lodged down or weedy crop conditions; • High field performanceWorking speed: 8–10 km/h Harvest loss: 0,4–0,5% Operational data are valid for average harvesting conditions.The stalk crusher can be operated at a given height fixed or in flotation mode copying the surface of the top soil providing even „shred and spread” of residue. Crusher can be lowered/lifted from the cab by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The crushing height can be adjusted by means of the sliding shoes. The sliding shoes are spring loaded for trouble free operation.
