Future agriculture leading company Daedong(000490) released the new DSF85, a full-feed combine specialized for soybean harvesting, on the 27th.
The DSF85 enhances performance across the entire soybean harvest process, from cutting and conveying to threshing and cleaning. In particular, it focuses on reducing soybean loss and cracking during harvest while effectively filtering out foreign matter such as soil, stems, and leaves.
The header adjusts the blade position so soybean stems flow naturally into the machine, and the reel speed can be set in five steps according to crop conditions. A soil-drain mesh is applied to the header and conveying section to remove soil and chaff in advance, and an anti-scatter ridge is installed in the conveying passage to reduce soybean loss.
The threshing unit lowers the cylinder rotation speed to minimize impact on the soybeans. This suppresses cracking that can occur during threshing and focuses on securing intact soybeans as well as yield.
Sorting performance is also strengthened. The newly applied "Smart Selector" filters out large foreign matter such as stems and leaves, and the chaff gap can be adjusted in five steps to enable sorting suited to crop conditions. An auxiliary chaff was added to further improve sorting performance.
Work convenience and stability are also improved. If the header or conveyor clogs, the operator can activate the reverse rotation function from the cab to quickly discharge foreign matter, and front-rear-left-right leveling control enables stable operation even on sloped fields. In addition, a high-capacity 1,570 L grain tank reduces the number of work interruptions for grain discharge.
Gam Byeong-u, head of development at Daedong, said, "As the agricultural environment and cultivation methods change rapidly, it is important how precisely agricultural machinery can respond to crops and field conditions," and added, "We will continue to enhance product competitiveness so that farmers can feel the difference in actual work results by reflecting field needs in our products and technologies."
