Investing in a constructieve future ZuIDbERG fRoNtLINE SYStEMS bV 24 on thursday 11 october, our eldest daughter proudly drove in the first pile for the new Zuidberg StaalService development, to loud applause from family, Alderman Schutte from the municipality of Noordoostpolder, invited guests and more than 200 colleagues from the various Zuidberg companies. With the new Zuidberg StaalService development, we are investing in a constructive future. As well as a completely new site and machinery, the development is also an investment in the regional community, because it will create more jobs in the future. As with the other Zuidberg companies, the new development is very much about efficiency, sustainability and safety. to give one example - the fact that, from the end of next year, all the metal structures will be developed, produced and assembled in-house will greatly reduce the need for transport. As well as energy-efficient production, reducing waste materials and heat recovery during production, the office premises will be fitted with an underground thermal storage system - all with the aim of actively incorporating efficiency, sustainability and safety in the design and production process. Among the items featured in this issue of fRoNtLINE NEWS are the launch of Eco tWIN Pto on the Dutch market, the production of gears according to the LEAN principle, and our new range of weights. New range of weights Zuidberg Frontline Systems will be supplying a wider range of steel weights as of November 2012. The range comprises the existing concrete weights and the new steel weights. The range of steel weights comprises modular weights and block weights. the modular steel weights consist of three separate “basic weights” of 600 kg, 800 kg and 1450 kg. the basic weight can be increased by adding a maximum of 2 add-on modules. Depending on the type of basic weight, it can be increased by 400 kg, 600 kg and/or 800 kg, up to a maximum weight of 2850 kg. the block weight range comprises an 850 kg and a 1400 kg weight. the block weights cannot be increased. – Jeroen Zuidberg, Managing Director In addition to the modern and compact design, the choice of various add-on modules allows the user a high degree of flexibility. All the weights are designed to interfere as little as possible with the tractor’s standard lighting. the weights are available in Zuidberg black, John Deere green, claas grey and Agco grey. Sample calculation: With a basic weight of 1450 kilos, an add-on module of 600 kg and 800 kg is added to ultimately achieve a front weight of 2850 kg.

The new ECO-TWIN PTO The ECO-TWIN PTO was designed with the vision that the engines of current tractors can supply the same power even with a lower rpm. Virtually all tractors have the ability to switch off the rear Pto between 1000 revolutions and what is known as a ‘low-power mode’. In that case, 1000 revolutions of the rear power take-off shaft is achieved with a reduced engine rpm of approximately 1600 rpm. With Eco-tWIN Pto, this is now also possible in the front Pto. the Eco-tWIN Pto has been designed for tractor classes of 100-250 hp. Two clutches the mechanics in the Pto are based on the tried and tested Zuidberg technique with a wet lamella clutch and an separate hydraulic circuit. However, two clutches are incorporated in this housing. the first clutch works as it does in any other Zuidberg housing, by connecting the outgoing axle directly to the lowest gear from the housing; the so-called drive cup. the second clutch connects the outgoing axle with the drive cup via a planetary gear system. the planetary gear system provides the extra deceleration between the gear and axle. Due to its compact design, the housing uses only 32 mm more space than, for example, a standard PN housing and uses 54 mm more space than a PA3/4, which is mounted on these tractors in the current Zuidberg range. In its programme, Zuidberg already has a gearbox with adapted transmission ratio, with which a lower engine rpm can be realised. If you would also like to use the normal 1:2 ratio, the gearbox must be changed. that is now a thing of the past with the Eco-tWIN Pto. Use As regards use, imagine duties where the required power of the front and rear Pto allow it to operate with lower revolutions. for example, when mowing. Another use is when the front machine needs to operate at 1000 revolutions and the rear machine can operate with fewer revolutions. the user can set the front Pto electronically to 1000E from the ZuIDbERG fRoNtLINE SYStEMS bV 24 Zuidberg is supplying two Pto’s with different transmission ratios, combined in a single unit. Hence the decision to name it the Eco-tWIN Pto. cabin, whilst the rear uses the 1000E setting also. Here you should imagine, for example, a combination of front-mounted mower and forage and discharge wagon (silage), a foliage harvester combined with a potato harvester or a hydro pump in the front Pto and another arbitrary machine behind the tractor. 3
