New self-propelled grape harvesters G7.220 and G8.270

On the occasion of the G démo Tour 2010 demonstration tour and following the launch of the new products 2009 (G1, G2, G6, G7, G8 and G9), Grégoire is presenting two new models that complete its range for wide vineyards: G7.220 and G8.270.
The new Grégoire G7.220 and G8.270 self-propelled grape harvesters incorporate ?all the technical innovations that give them a level of comfort, efficiency, economic return and performance never before achieved?:

- new central driving position featuring air conditioning, seat-mounted controls, a high-comfort pneumatic seat, a refrigerated box and a radio system,

- color terminal bringing together all the information useful to the driver and serving as the display for the two standard cameras. This new feature completes the range of self-propelled machines for wide vineyards by offering an ultra-compact size, power perfectly suited to harvesting and a simplified chassis.

- side console grouping all the machine settings, with automatic update of the pictograms according to the type of tool connected.

- linear neutral-point joystick (Grégoire patent) that triples the number of possible functions. All machine functions, including the hoppers, can thus be controlled without letting go of the joystick.

- headland engine speed management system: when the main unit stops (harvesting head operating in harvest mode), the driver can choose to automatically drop the engine speed to a predefined level in order to reduce fuel consumption and noise level.

The engine returns to its initial speed as soon as the main unit restarts.

- combined and automatic management of the travel pump displacement and the engine speed, the joystick becoming a travel control. It is no longer necessary to keep the maximum speed when driving on the road, resulting in optimized consumption, noise level and driving comfort.

- semi-automatic slope control management, the machine levels itself with a simple impulse on the .

- new harvesting head suspension system: the harvesting head frame has a pendulum suspension relative to the conveyor frame, which is itself pendulum-mounted relative to the machine frame. Shaking and harvesting are carried out very gently thanks to optimized row following.

- shaker spacing adjustment system controlled from the driving position. G9 has an exclusive system that allows the shaker supports to slide, thus offering a wide adjustment range without stress on them.

- ultra-fast harvesting module coupling and uncoupling system, quick hydraulic and electrical connectors at the rear and front, tool recognition system with automatic pictogram updates and reassignment of controls, etc.

Everything you need to switch from one use to another very quickly and thus allow the carrier to be used all year round.

The Grégoire G7.220 is positioned as a more compact version of the G7.240 model. It retains its main features and combines them with an ultra-compact size for record maneuverability.

The Grégoire G8.270 is the new flagship of the wide vineyard range and incorporates the exclusive Grégoire central hopper system for increased driving comfort and efficiency, making it the ideal tool for intensive use with very high yields.

Features of the G7.220 and G8.270:

The G7.220 has a Deutz 4-cylinder engine of 144 cv and a sealing length of 2200 mm.

The G8.270 has a Deutz 6-cylinder engine of 167cv and a sealing length of 2600 mm. It features the Grégoire central hopper system.
