The Fendt L Series combine harvester range is expanding. After a few 6 walker test units, the 5 walker model is now making its appearance. The L Series slots in between the E Series (base version) and the C Series (top of the range). The chassis and overall design are reminiscent of the E Series. Cab comfort and interior equipment are on a par with the C Series
The L Series is fitted with the new Iveco engine (6 cylinders, 6,7 litres - Common Rail) of 245 ch. It receives the 4-speed transmission found on the C Series.
The L Series receives the FreeFlow cutterbar from 4,80 m to 6,60 m wide, with the latest improvements made to these cutterbar models (new cutting height sensors, new cutting skid, new hectare counter, new drive...). Like the C Series, the L Series is fitted with the retractable-finger feed drum at the conveyor inlet (?PowerFeeder?) for a steady feed to the machine, even on slopes.
The 600 mm diameter threshing drum, 1340 mm (5 walkers) or 1600 mm (6 walkers) wide, is equipped with eight rasp bars and eight weighting masses. With 70 % more weight compared with the standard drum, it benefits from greater inertia. According to Fendt, the machine runs more smoothly, stress on the transmissions is reduced and fuel consumption is lower.
The L Series is equipped with an active counter-beater (stripper) with adjustable spacing and a rotary separator whose concave retracts electrically to preserve the straw in dry conditions.
As for cleaning, the L Series, like the E and C Series, has a cleaning box with an upper sieve featuring a special profile (lugs) that prevents straw strands from passing through.
Two grain tanks are available: 7000 litres on the 5 walker models and 7500 litres on the 6 walker models.
The L Series adopts the new cab components of the E Series: new steering column, new on-board computer, new dashboard,... The ?Agritronic Plus? on-board computer and the multifunction lever are standard equipment.
For hillside fields, the 5250 L AL is equipped with the ?Auto Level? automatic slope compensation system. It can correct a slope of up to 20 % laterally and 8 % lengthwise. Two double reduction gears pivot the entire machine.
