- •
A high cutting height during harvesting in stony lands leads to consistent biomass losses.
- •
A new flexible bar was designed for following the soil contour and reducing such losses.
- •
To this aim the cutting bar was fixed on a harmonic steel structure oscillating up to 150 mm.
- •
A sensors system checked the coordination of the mechanical and hydraulic components.
- •
The system showed a good efficiency in the detection and overcoming the obstacles.
