BISO news

The BISO 2D VARIO series of combine headers is designed for high-performance combine harvesters that require perfect feeding of the harvested material under very different conditions. Drivers are exposed to considerable stress during harvest days in order to achieve high performance, minimal losses and also minimal wear or damage to the machine. The 2D model range gives drivers a choice and the ability to react quickly to the current harvest situation. 

The BISO 2D VARIO series of combine headers covers working widths from 7.7 m to 15.6 m. This would not have been possible without the hybrid frame and other key technologies that make this range the market leader in headers with auger. In this article, let's take a look at some interesting details that will give a better idea of the level of workmanship and technology used on this series.

The BISO 2D VARIO series of headers covers working widths from 7.7 m to 15.6 m. It is a typical representative of the BISO design school, i.e. the VARIO header with a powerful auger, with tip tilting and integrated side knifes. Of course, the hybrid frame cannot be missing at these working widths, and the reel from one piece up to the 1230 model is also interesting. It is a header for customers requiring a long service life, top quality of work and low operating costs. The target group is therefore professional farmers and, above all, contractors with powerful combine harvesters. 

Our factory, BISO in Slovakia, Nováky and the long-awaited meeting on 27.11. 2022. Thanks to AgroVario Kft. from Hungary for coming despite the long journey and therefore we could show them our manufactury. Come with us to see how it went. 

Now, all our combine harvesters are parked under the roof. And why not remember the sunny days of last summer, when we worked hard? What were our first impressions of the new combine with the new 8.5-meter BISO VX CropRanger TrendLine Light? 

If you buy the Deutz-Fahr combine with the vario header you will get the BISO CropRanger VX TLL with ProfiTrailer as you can see in the pictures from our colleagues from the Czech SDF importer GARNEA Neplachov. It’s usually the VX750TLL in very good specifications.

We are inviting you to visit us at CENTRALNE TARGI ROLNICZE 2021, Ptak Warsaw Expo fair on November 26-28,  in Warsaw, Poland.

We bring you photos from our customer who works with the BISO CornPower maize harvesting adapter with a width of 8 rows. The adapter runs in combination with the New Holland CX combine harvester.

SAMPO has introduced a completely new combine, the COMIA C22, on the market at the last AGRITECHNICA in Hanover. It´s a brand-new hybrid model from SAMPO. SAMPO Rosenlew, P&L Czech Republic and Készenlét Zrt. Hungary ordered two BISO CropRanger VX750TLL vario headers for their demo units which were then used in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Baltics this season. We thank them a lot for nice pictures and some videos.

VOMER AGRO, our partner from Latvia, hung our BISO Crop Ranger VX750TLL on their Rostselmash RSM161 combine in nearly full specification and made a DEMO tour around Latvia and Estonia. The vario header was ordered in full specification with the Schumacher kit and the BISO ProfiTrailer. Look at some pictures and videos from Latvia. Thanks a lot to the staff at VOMER AGRO for a very professional cooperation.

Thanks to our dealer Készenlét Zrt., these days you can see a new header CropRanger VX750 TrendLineLight with Sampo C22 working together in pair in Hungarian fields.

Our customer started the new harvest season with the new BISO CropRanger VX850 TLL header and we are glad to be here and see the first steps in the field.

It is a very pleasant feature for the 9m header, it is good to have it on the 10.7m one, and for the 12.3m one it is a “MUST HAVE”.  We are speaking about the rear axle steering on the header trailer. Let’s look at the BISO ProfiSteer trailer for big headers and comfortable drive. How does it work?

Its full name is BISO CropRanger VX TrendLineLight (TLL). The production has started in 2011 but don’t confuse it with CropRanger VX HighLine which was produced from 2001. CropRanger VX TLL is the latest model line of the vario table range with all the features and improvements. This header is not as famous as CropRanger HighLine (HL) or Ultralight (or 3D now). But in reality it is still one of the best VARIO headers on the market, durable, simple for service and really driver-friendly.  Let’s look deeper at this BISO VARIO header which stands quietly behind, but in reality, it is the “pulling horse” of our brand.

Let’s look at the lentil harvest. In the pictures you can see that the lentil stand can be a very interesting challenge. The value of the crop is really high and the harvest quality is in the first place. Look at our report from the 3D VARIOFLEX AIR i lentil stand harvest.  It’s not pea, it’s not soya …

The concept is fantastic. But what about the details? Look at the second part of the photo package focusing mainly on the details of this new header. In this part 2, we will look at the tablet, dividers, the air system, hydraulic tanks, combine connection points and the “trailer mode”.  

The 3D from BISO is a unique universal header for a fully professional harvest of many crops in different conditions. The 3D VARIOFLEX is a vario header with FLEX module and many smart automatic functions that “watch what the driver is doing”.   

Biso has delivered the first two 3D VARIOFLEX AIR i cutter bar to France, a 5.8 and a 9.1 meters.

We say that combines are statistically “in action” 22 days per year (during cereals harvest).  On some big farms, it can be only about 10-12 days only in their own territory. Days full of stress and pressure. With such a high performance, however, combines might have some technical problems … possibly even serious problems. For example, many small parts can stop the machine. So, let’s look at our top model in details.

We have been testing the 3D VARIOFLEX AIR i on our combines since 2017, but this year we hang the unit from the serial production in 2020 up on our CR9090 SmartTrax. The model 3D VARIOFLEX 1070 AIR i in full spec. The unit has the last actual specification including the Schumacher knife setup and last version of control software.  

The traffic control on field becomes strategic in the modern farming to reduce the soil compaction and increase the efficiency. The machineries become bigger and bigger and their performances too: nowadays are available 18 meters seeders and 36 meters sprayers. Those equipments are used in areas with big fields with the purpose to increase the field work efficiency and to reduce the soil compaction by using the same path for the different working phases (seeding, spraying, harvesting, etc.). This approach is becoming popular in Western Australia where the possibility to work on multiple of 18 meters is strategic since it will reduce by half the current wheeled area. The main constraints to reach the multiple of 18 meters working width was standing on the following aspects:

• Cutting tables for combine harvesters could reach a maximum of 13.7 meters;
• Uniform straw spreading on headers larger than 12 meters was not possible;
• Combine unloading with headers wider than 13.7 meters was difficult.

Today all above constraints have been resolved and for the cutting table, BISO with its 3D VARIOFLEX AIR i represents the answer to the combine front equipment as stated in the article which was published last 05/07/2020 in the CTF Magazine hereinafter presented.

The BISO SojaFLEX extension is a good solution for soya harvest for owners of Laverda/Fendt/MF/Challenger combines with a standard header (FreeFlow). These combines usually have rapeseed extensions and we can fit the SojaFLEX extension with FLEX modul for soya harvest on the header based on the same principle.

We have updated the SojaFLEX extension for CLAAS Vario headers significantly in 2019. In the pictures below you can see the biggest available model, the SojaFLEX 7.5m for V750 vario header. With such a kit you can harvest soya on a professional level with the standard V750 vario header from CLAAS.  SojaFLEX extension from BISO is a “mechanical” SojaFLEX module with a flexible cutting bar.  

The SojaFLEX adapter from BISO was in offer in the first phase from 2005 for up to the 9m header width. This product is focused on all the brands with NO vario headers. In the flex mode, the load of the knife gearbox, the lever and the knife are so high that the actual width limit with a one side drive is 7.5m. BISO is able to produce the SojaFLEX extension for standard headers made by John Deere, New Holland, Case-IH, Laverda and Claas. We also have some unique solutions for the CLAAS VARIO headers up to the V750 model.  

The key issue for a long lifetime of the header is a strong frame and a good trolley for header transport. The high quality header will not be recognized after one year in service, but after 10.000ha harvested and thousands of kilometers of transport on the header trailer. The steel header works well up to maximum 9m. And our steel frames apparently survive the most. The only solution is something we in BISO after years of research and development call the HYBRID FRAME.  

Which segment are our customers coming for the BISO 3D technology from? Does this technology pay them off? Are these clients part of the core community of BISO who are loyal to the approved brand? Or are they new customers who make decisions only on the basis of a pragmatic economical evaluation?  

The BISO header was presented at the Agritechnica 2019 trade fair also thanks to the cooperation with the agricultural machinery manufacturer Deutz-Fahr.

At the Agritechnica 2019 trade fair, we were visited by several world newsrooms which were interested in our innovative products. Below, we add you a contribution that was presented by the Argentinian television Canal Rural.

The worldwide exhibition Agritechnica 2019 is over and we, as BISO, can say that it was very successful! We also received a significant silver medal award for our new innovative product BISO VARIOFLEX 3D AIR i

Our greatest delight was when hundreds of customers came to our exhibition and admired the presented machines with us.

Above all, we would like to thank to our customers and business partners who came from all around the world.

It was again a very pleasant time spent discussing the technical solutions of our header but also the everyday problems of every farmer.

An efficient and relaxed harvest begins with the premium header. Premiums will include models that can harvest not only cereals, rape or soybeans, but also laid wheat or barley in the FLEX mode, even in shots over 9m. And all this with a precise cut at the required height in every situation.

The German national agricultural company DLG awarded us a silver medal for the BISO 3D VARIOFLEX AIR i header on the occasion of the upcoming AGRITECHNICA HANNOVER 2019 exhibition.

We have been working on the new 3D generation header for many years. We have had several developmental generations and based on detailed analyses, many tests and measurements, we and our customers have come to the conclusion that the future is a combination of intake auger, VARIO system and FLEX cutting deck module.

We bring you photos from the aggregation of the BISO Trendline Light header with the Deutz-Fahr combine harvester. The photos were taken during the soybean harvest. The main advantage of this header is the possibility of tilting to the tip, which ensures the best possible cutting of crops such as soybeans.

In the summer, we put into operation a world-unique one - the BISO Ultralight header with a working width of 14 m in combination with the CR9.80 combine harvester, which coped with the huge width effortlessly.

We would like to present you a video of the Garnea company, which has BISO CropRanger header in Deutz-Fahr colors on Deutz-Fahr combine harvesters.

This year, as usual, thanks to the cooperation between BISO and the agricultural machinery manufacturer Deutz-Fahr, the BISO CropRanger Trendline Light header in the Deutz-Fahr design appeared at a nice exhibition at the Agritechnica trade fair in Hanover in 2017.

Dear customers, we would like to present a short photo report from the P&L stand at the Techagro 2018 trade fair in Brno, where the Sampo combine with the BISO VX CropRanger Light header was exhibited in the colours of the combine.

Dear business partners, another year of the traditional world exhibition of agricultural technology in Hanover, Germany is over. As usual, BISO company was also present among its exhibitors this year.

As part of the services our company offers to farmers, there is also the harvest of corn for grain. You could see the New Holland CX8080 SL combine equipped with an eight-row BISO CornPower corn adapter, for example, in the fields near Tišnov in the Brno region.

We are bringing you a video of the latest BISO Ultralight hybrid header, which has been paired with the John Deere S685i combine harvester. BISO offers the pairing of our cutting bars with all major cutting bar manufacturers on the market.

The BISO Schrattenecker technology was not only presented in its stand. It was also in the Deutz-Fahr stand. Here, it was hung on the largest Deutz-Fahr combine. An ideal combination of a combine and a header for maximum productivity.

Another successful year of the largest European agricultural exhibition Agritechnica, which is traditionally held in the German city of Hannover, is over. The representation of BISO Schrattenecker, which presented the first-rate harvesting technology, could not be missed this year either.

Thanks to Mr. Tomáš Petržela who sent us photos of the new CR9.80 thresher with BISO UL1200 header in the stand of the Italian extra durum wheat, we can show you these beautiful photos. We would like to thank Mr. Petržel.

This season, we witnessed the premiere of the Deutz-Faht C9206 threshers in the Czech Republic. The threshers were equipped with 7.5-meter BISO VX750 CropRanger Trendline Light headers. Let's have a look at these beautiful photos with us.

In Slovakia, our customers use our premium header BISO Ultralight 1200 with the New Holland CR9.80 combine.

We are proud to present a customer´s video of John Deere S609i with our revolutionary hybrid header BISO Ultralight 1200.

Last time, we have brought to you a leaflet of our new BISO 3D VARIOFLEX•AIR•i product which was shown at the Agritechnica 2019 fair in Hannover. This time, we are presenting you our new animation which is highlighting all the important features of our revolutionary header. 

Did you know that in the picturesque town of Ort im Innkreis, BISO Schrattenecker has taken another step forward, as it has in its slogan? Yes, that's right, and maybe you can say up to three extra steps. Sure, it may sound a bit like praise in my words, but it's not so. The independent German institute DLG itself rewarded us for these three steps, and we are proud of it. It is not a rule that small factories are awarded at prestigious international agricultural exhibitions such as Agritechnica 2009 in Hanover. However, we managed it last year again.
