AVR introduces the Lynx, a trailed elevator potato harvester

The media already heralded the news in May: Lynx spotted in Belgium… and how right they were! Not only was one of the actual predators seen prowling in Flanders, but AVR was also busily constructing its latest trailed harvester: the Lynx!

As a trailed elevator harvester, the AVR Lynx is unique in the market. This two-row harvester can do both in-line and off-set harvesting and is entirely hydraulically driven.

There is a choice of three different types of cleaning module: pintle belt, pintle belt/cross roller set or pintle belt/Varioweb.

The Varioweb application - well known from the Puma 3 self-propelled harvester - is especially unique!

The machine operates completely hydraulically, and a number of intelligent technologies enable the harvesting to be done even more flexibly. The Lynx rides on wide tyres, which guarantees low soil pressure and makes the machine easy to pull.

Thanks to the digging unit’s open construction, the crops are transported smoothly. In addition to practical comfort during maintenance and repairs, this also promotes the design of the machine. This is a nice machine to work with in every respect.

Three different cleaning modules

The Lynx is constructed modularly, which means that for one frame, three types of cleaning modules can be opted for. Because of this, the machine can easily be adjusted to the applicable growing and harvesting circumstances.

For heavy soils, axial rollers (in Varioweb) can be opted for. The advantage of this configuration is that for vulnerable potatoes or easily sievable soil, the axial rollers can be taken out of the product flow.

If no axial rollers are needed, the cleaning module can be replaced with a rubberized rod belt.
