EVOLUTIONS of the MAP 90:
– Reduction of the height to fit in a type H1 van (example: traffic)
– Adjustment of the lateral verticality of the mast by hydraulic cylinder
– Folding and unfolding of the mast (lower and upper part) by hydraulic cylinder
– Improved safety by removing the locking key: operation of the complete threshing system on the mast provided by a hydraulic cylinder.
– Reduction in the width of the sheep, more compact and more stable protective cage
