The best Soviet self-propelled combine harvester KSK-100

Technical characteristics of Polesie combines

Agricultural machinery is represented by such a huge range that manufacturers at factories offer several models of a certain brand with excellent technical characteristics. In the Belarusian city of Gomel there is a plant that produces Polesie grain harvesters. For more than 20 years, this equipment has been helping farmers in the fields and is considered one of the best in its class. The main models of Polesie combines are considered to be “Polesie KZS-1218” and “Polesie KZS 812”.

We also note that the manufacturer’s range is represented by several other models, including the GS05, GS10, GS14 and GS16 combines. The entire line of the manufacturer is distinguished by incredible characteristics; the combines are, first of all, economical, have high-quality threshing and quickly harvest the fields. Well-thought-out systems make it easy to move across fields and withstand the most difficult loads. The maximum possible comfort has been created for the driver; in addition to easy operation, Polesie combines are equipped with a comfortable cabin.

Combine harvester Polesie 812

The technical data of the combine allows it to be classified as class 4, so the equipment is capable of coping with various tasks of harvesting in the fields. It works great with a yield of 40 c/ha, where it shows good efficiency and fuel consumption. Grain collection shows excellent results, and for non-grain products there are two possible solutions - crushing and further spreading or placing straw in special windrows. The main advantages of the Polesie 812 model include:

• powerful motor with low noise and excellent performance;
• fast harvesting speed with minimal crop losses;
• high quality ground;
• inertial drum;
• excellent build quality, virtually no repair or maintenance required;
• comfortable conditions for the driver.

Based on reviews from owners, the combine performs excellently, producing the cleanest threshing possible.

Technical characteristics of Polesie 812

A 210-230 horsepower engine allowed the model to provide excellent endurance. The specified throughput rate is 8 kg/s, the threshing system is presented with 1 drum and a straw walker with 4 keys. A thresher with a width of 1,200 mm is installed, which will be an ideal solution for use in agriculture with an average yield level. All characteristics make it possible to position the combine harvester as an affordable and economical technique.

With proper operation, operation in optimal humidity and sufficient straw content, the combine is capable of producing 12 tons of grain in 1 hour of operation. For better performance, the manufacturer equipped the equipment with a 5.5 cm cubic hopper. An important indicator will be the grip of the header; in Polesie 812 this indicator is 5, 6 or 7 mm.

A special electric mechanism control is installed in the cabin, which will help regulate the concave clearance. This ensures correct threshing with maximum efficiency. Belonging to middle-class equipment, this model is equipped with a 3-cascade cleaning system. This provided a total sieve area of ​​4 sq.m. The capacity of the fuel tank is interesting; its capacity was 500 liters. The tank is created from polymers that are far superior to plastic versions and metal tanks that are susceptible to corrosion.

To use the combine in too wet soil, the Belarusian plant offers to equip the equipment with caterpillar tracks or twin wheels. Tracked modifications are quite interesting and show good efficiency in certain fields. Today, the price for a Polesie combine harvester starts at 3,700,000 rubles; a used model in good condition can be found at a price of 1.5 million rubles.

Combine harvester Polesie 1218

This model is improved and slightly superior to the Polesie 812 combine. This also confirms the attitude to class 6 and the presence of better performance. The manufacturer equips the equipment with a threshing and separating device with a stated width of 1.5 m. The device used allows it to be considered a universal assistant for various conditions and fields. The main productivity indicator is 18 tons of harvested crop per 1 hour of work. Moreover, the interesting thing is that the combine will harvest 18 tons, regardless of the condition of the grain or the condition of the field. All parts and structural parts are created according to international standards and therefore this is one of the best modern assistants in the grain production.

Characteristics of the Polesie 1218 combine

The equipment operates thanks to a diesel engine with a capacity of 330 horsepower; Polesie combines are also equipped with other engine modifications. Unlike the 812 model, the combine received an improved threshing scheme with 2 drums, as well as a modified cleaning system. It is impossible not to note the large area of ​​the separator and the accelerator system for feeding the threshed mass.

The main features of the model include:

• presence of a grain picker;
• modified soybean header system;
• grain headers with increased working width - 6, 8 or 9 m;
• special equipment for harvesting rapeseed and sunflower;

If desired, the equipment can be replenished with a special corn header. It is the large set of accessories, both in the main and in the additional kit, that gives excellent demand for the Polesie 1218 model. With a sufficiently powerful engine, it was necessary to take care of a sufficient fuel tank, so its capacity was 600 liters. In the standard version without a transport trolley, the combine harvester weighs 16.6 tons.

Driver's cabin

Modern technologies have also reached the operator’s cabin, for example, there is a large panoramic glass in front with an ideal viewing angle. Inside the cabin is quite spacious and has an area of ​​about 2.6 meters. This allows not only the operator, but also his assistant to be located in the combine.

The control of technology is interesting - it is carried out by a modern computer. The data is displayed on a large display; additionally, secondary displays that are installed on the instrument panel help display fixed data. To ensure that electronics and computers work stably, the cabin is protected and does not allow dust to enter.

Bunker Polesie 1218

The presented model is ideal for large harvests, which can be easily handled. A grain bin with a large volume of 8 cubic meters also helps to ensure this. The manufacturer decided to use such a volume not by chance, because Kamaz vehicles with a capacity of 16 cubic meters typically pick up grain. That is, 2 filled bunkers will be enough to fully load the Kamaz without wasting time on idle equipment.

Combine Harvester Polesie 1420 (GS14)

One of the latest and most powerful models, which was produced not so long ago, but has an engine with a power of as much as 400 hp. Polissya 1420 is positioned as a high-performance equipment for harvesting large grain harvests. It is also ideal for other threshed crops and is therefore widely used on farms throughout Europe.

The GS14 model has a number of distinctive advantages:

• many different headers, both in basic and additional configurations;
• threshing using a two-drum circuit;
• six-key straw walker with an area of ​​7.5 m2 for separating the remaining grain;
• modern comfortable cabin with computer control;
• width of the threshing apparatus 1,700 mm;
• excellent productivity of 20 tons of grain per hour of operation.

The Polesie brand products from the Belarusian plant are represented by several models, each of which is different and presented for a specific yield. We have presented only 3 interesting and most popular ones, but farmers from all over Europe actively use other modifications and only respond positively to this technique.
