The Knuckey Dual Deck Pickup Front is an innovative agricultural implement designed and made right here in Australia to significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of the harvesting process on farms. This piece of equipment is engineered to address various concerns in modern farming: reducing fuel costs, reducing major capital outlay, increasing capacity, saving valuable hours during the harvest season and reducing the risk of weather damage. By allowing for the simultaneous harvesting of two windrows, it effectively doubles the productivity of the harvesting operation, making it an invaluable asset for farmers looking to optimise their yield and significantly reduce operational costs.

Key Features and Benefits

Dual Windrow Harvesting  

The most distinguishing feature of the Knuckey Dual Deck Pickup Front is its ability to harvest two windrows at once. This not only speeds up the harvesting process but also reduces the amount of time and fuel required to cover the same area of land compared to traditional single windrow systems.

Understanding that farms and fields vary greatly in size and layout, Knuckey offers the Dual Deck Pickup Front in a range of widths. This customisation ensures that farmers can choose a model that best fits their specific requirements, optimising efficiency and compatibility with their existing machinery.

The flexibility to select the ideal width and configuration for specific needs means that the Knuckey Dual Deck Pickup Front can be adapted to suit various types of crops and field conditions. Whether dealing with small grains or larger stalks, there’s a configuration that meets the need.

Controlled Traffic Farming
