The harvester features a large-volume bunker with a capacity of approximately 7.2 tons. It includes an automatic filling function and a hydraulically foldable tray filler for gentle crop handling. The bunker scale provides accurate yield monitoring directly in the field.
The ROPA Keiler 2 is designed for easy maintenance with an open construction and integrated diagnostic system. It offers various optional equipment, including different types of shares, disc coulters, and a swath pickup system. The machine is fully hydraulically driven and features an ISOBUS control unit for easy function adjustment.
- Separation System: The Keiler 2 RK22 features four pintle belts for effective cleaning, while the Classic version uses two pintle belts for gentle separation on light soils.
- Picking Table: Designed for 5 to 8 persons, with adjustable platforms and ergonomic ladders. The table dimensions are 1,100 mm in width and 1,900 mm in length for the standard model.
- Bunker: The standard bunker holds approximately 7.5 tons, with a maximum truck loading height of 4,200 mm. The Classic XL version can hold up to 8 tons.
- Dimensions: The harvester measures 11,800 mm in length, 3,000 mm in width, and 3,990 mm in height.
- Drive System: Fully hydraulic drive with adjustable sieve conveyors and cleaning units, maintaining constant speed with a minimum PTO shaft speed of 650 rpm.
- Comfort and Control: Includes a TASK controller for crop management, ISOBUS retrofit kit, and a 12-inch ROPA touch terminal.
- Lighting and Camera System: Equipped with LED working lights and up to 7 high-resolution digital cameras for enhanced visibility and monitoring.
