The Monster 770 Cut Plus is a variable chamber 80 to 170 cm round baler manufactured by Mascar in Vicenza presented to the crowds attending the EIMA Show. This baler is equipped with a high capacity pick-up system, a rotary feeder with 15 cutting blades which can be totally or partially retracted by using CPU control and the feeder auger anti-clogging system directly controlled from the tractor cab. The Mascar 5-stapled endless belts in the compression chamber is another winning card for the Monster 770 Cut Plus. Compared to traditional belts fastened mechanically, this baler’s belts ensure reliability and great resistance to wear over time for guaranteeing high bale density for a quality dry or humid final bale. Another plus is strengthened hydraulics without altering the compact built of the machine, 2.55 meters wide, but substantially improves stability. Mascar also put the Montana pneumatic precision planter for sowing corn, soy beans, sunflower and sugarbeet to work on the Casalina di Deruta farm field. The planter comes in tractor mounted or trailed versions as well as a combined version with a 36 liter hopper and a reliable continuous variable transmission which requires no lubrication or maintenance with control in the hands of the operator for precisely regulation for speed and seed quantities. The big hopper which boosts the autonomy of the planter is located lower than it is on other models on the market. The Veneto manufacturer said in a technical note, “This way were we able not only to improve visibility from the tractor but also make access to the hopper easy and more comfortable for the operator.” Because the planting units are stabilized seeding is precise, even at advanced speeds, and on demanding terrain. The Montana provides four dosage units for excellent quantity distribution and four mushroom distributors for uniform distribution of seeds also on steeply sloping land.
