John Deere 9970 Cotton Harvester
Cotton is a fiber of extreme socioeconomic importance for Brazil, as we are among the top five global producers and also one of the countries that export it the most.
The cotton agribusiness has evolved greatly over the years, and currently, the cotton produced here is already considered of extreme quality, undergoing rigorous processes and criteria, such as traceability, sustainability, among others.
To reach this level of excellence, it all begins on the farms where cotton is planted. As it grows on a shrub, the cotton plant, the most effective way to harvest is by using a cotton harvester and the market leader is the John Deere 9970 cotton.
There are currently two types of cotton harvester systems: the spindle cotton harvester, also known as a picker, which only removes seed cotton, and the stripper cotton harvester, which is equipped with roller systems, thus removing entire bolls, husks, and involucre.
How does a John Deere 9970 cotton harvester work? The John Deere 9970 cotton has a large "fine comb" whose gaps pull the entire bolls from the plant, depositing them right behind the comb, on the platform. This part forces the detachment of the fiber that had not been released from the plant.
The John Deere 9970 cotton harvester performs uninterrupted cotton harvesting through the use of a high-volume accumulator, a former, and a round module handler. The accumulator of the John Deere 9970 cotton harvester still collects cotton while a round module is baled with a protective film – Super Cotton Wrap – and ejected to the rear handler of the machine.
It is important to mention that immediately after the cotton harvest with the John Deere 9970 cotton harvester, the cotton is stored in rolls on the farms before moving to the gin. For storage without losses and maintaining cotton quality, rural producers can rely on Super Cotton Wrap, a plastic film for baling cotton in the field.
Developed with high technology and an innovative process, Super Cotton Wrap is compatible with the main cotton harvesters on the market, including the John Deere 9970 cotton, allowing cotton baling to be performed automatically and without stops, ensuring speed and agility at the time of harvest.
Check out the main advantages of Super Cotton Wrap: Agility: the spool is fitted directly into cotton harvesters, allowing for quick and non-stop operation. Safety: Super Cotton Wrap prevents the risk of contamination of cotton bales with plastic or other impurities. Individual units: Super Cotton Wrap was developed with pre-cut portions, facilitating its handling during baling. Sustainability: 100% recyclable polyethylene film. Traceability: through RFID (radiofrequency technology), it is possible to track the bales. Durability and UV Protection: Super Cotton Wrap has exclusive UV protection, which guarantees its durability for 6 months in the field. Protection: protects and preserves cotton bales in the field from various weather adversities: winds, rains, etc., thus maintaining the quality of the harvested product.
