G8.270 ELITE
Designed to harvest, used to conquer
AUTOdrive
AUTOdrive automatically adapts the engine speed to the ground speed when driving. This integrated management of the engine speed gives the transmission unrivalled flexibility and significantly reduces both consumption and the noise level. The joystick can also be used as a forward drive control.
AUTOspeed
AUTOspeed is used to perfectly regulate the working speed, regardless of the terrain. It is simple to activate via an easily accessible button on the joystick, allowing you to return quickly to the programmed speed.
CONTROLmaster
Easily accessible, the CONTROLmaster control console means you can monitor all of the settings on your machine. Its simple, intuitive pictograms adapt to whatever tool is connected to the carrier (ISOBUS system), freeing the cab from the need for other bulky controls.
MULTIdrive
The MULTIdrive joystick (GREGOIRE patented) groups together all of your machine's functions (forward drive, tilt, tools, etc.). The driver can control the harvesting machine with just one hand, and focus on the harvest.
SOFTfloat
SOFTfloat is a device with pendular suspension on both the harvester head and the feeder channel chassis. It follows the row and the trellis perfectly, ensuring careful handling of the vine for a perfect harvest. Further confirmation that the GREGOIRE harvester head is the most flexible on the market.
TOOLintegration
With TOOLintegration, GREGOIRE versatile carriers are pre-equipped as standard to be versatile, allowing a GREGOIRE spraying unit or tool to be easily installed. ISOBUS technology allows this equipment to be controlled directly using the existing controls in the cab.
VARIwidth
VARIwidth enables the toe-in to be adjusted from the cab. You can adjust the distance between the shakers quickly and easily, ensuring careful handling of the vine and a quality harvest. This adjustment is hydraulic, achieved by tilting the eccentric block, and is simple, reliable and maintenance-free.
VIEWmaster
VIEWmaster, the largest colour touch screen on the market (13"), groups together all of the information required for monitoring your job. This display makes navigation tasks quick and easy, and can be used to store and extract data and view one of the colour cameras.
VISIOcenter
VISIOcenter is the most spacious cab on the market. Its central position gives you exceptional 360° vision, perfect alignment on the row and total control of the machine. Its comfort-boosting equipment help keep you safe during long hours of work.
ARC system
The ARC system harvesting principle ensures high quality harvesting and as yet unrivalled handling of the vine. Its exclusive characteristics give you access to an unlimited range of settings, which translates into quick and easy adaptation to any type of vineyard.
ECOdrive
The ECOdrive system, easy to activate from the joystick during manoeuvres, allows a drastic reduction in consumption. Its end of row sequencing, which can be fully configured, reduces the engine speed and helps increase the service life of your machine by conserving use of its components.
ELITE
ELITE is a performance pack which is fitted onto the range of harvesting machines bearing the same name. It comprises exclusive equipment which will allow you to optimise the use of your GREGOIRE harvesting machine so that you can get the very best from your vines.
AUTOlevel
AUTOlevel can be accessed from your joystick. Once activated, your machine then automatically adapts to differences in height and difficulties with the terrain. This provides you with greater safety, meaning you can focus your attention on the quality of your harvest.
FLEXspeed System
FLEXspeed automatically manages the shaking frequency when a stake is taken into the harvesting tunnel. Shakers, mechanical components and stakes are all protected. And the service life of your machine is increased.
TEP
TEP, the train of pneumatic sealing scales (GREGOIRE patented), perfectly adapts the recall force of the sealing scales to the different types of vine. By adjusting the air pressure in a membrane located underneath the scales, vines can be handled as delicately as possible whilst limiting losses on the ground.
CLEANtech
Cleantech is an on-board sorting device combining slow rotation, flexible fingers and plastic mesh to promote optimum separation of the fruit. Identical direction of rotation for the rotor and chain ensures careful handling of the fruit for a perfect harvest.
VARIO
VARIO is a sorting table which comprises a succession of rollers. It is used to eliminate all the waste remaining in the harvest (petioles, dried fruit, etc). Thanks to its roller speed and distance settings, you can adapt your device to all yields and all fruit.
24h
During the 2014 grape harvest, and at the end of a twenty-four hour shift, when the darkness and rain really tested the morale of the team, a G8.270 ELITE was able to set an impressive series of records: 24 hours of non-stop harvesting, consumption of 11.7l/h (9.8l/ha), 28.28ha harvested, which is an average of 1.18ha per hour.
