Rostselmash reveals key advantages of VECTOR combine harvester: up to 16 hours of operation without refueling

Russian agricultural machinery manufacturer Rostselmash has revealed the key features of the VECTOR combine harvester, emphasizing its efficiency and long autonomous operation. Against the backdrop of rising diesel fuel prices, these characteristics become one of the main factors when choosing equipment for the harvesting campaign.

The company reported that the combine's operational fuel consumption ranges from 1.8 to 2.5 kg per ton of threshed grain. This figure is considered one of the lowest in the segment of machines for small and medium-sized farms. Together with a 540-liter fuel tank, this allows the equipment to operate for up to 16 hours without refueling, effectively covering two full eight-hour shifts.

VECTOR is designed for farms and enterprises with small and medium-sized cultivated areas. The average seasonal output of the machine exceeds 750 hectares, and its productivity reaches 12–13.5 tons per hour, depending on operating conditions.

An additional advantage of the model remains its high level of unification and ease of maintenance. The basic equipment of some modifications includes an air compressor with a 110-liter receiver, which allows some service operations to be performed directly in the field.

The machines are equipped with engines up to 220 horsepower, a grain tank with a volume of up to 6000 liters, and a hydrostatic transmission.

The VECTOR series emerged as a modern development of the Rostselmash design bureau and occupied a niche between the company's compact and more productive grain harvesting machines.
