Features
HYDRAULIC OUTRIGGERS
Hydraulic Outriggers are standard equipment on all Retriever SLTs to make
it even easier to load heavy implements. They operate independently to
allow the operator to compensate for uneven ground when loading and
unloading the trailer.
HITCHING TO A UNIT OR HEAD
The operator backs the trailer up to the head or 3-point implement, lowers
the outriggers for stability, and attaches the lift arms or head adapter to
the unit to be transported.
LIFTING THE HEAD OR IMPLEMENT
After attaching the Retriever™ lift system to the head or
implement, the load is raised hydraulically to prepare for rotation to the
transport position.
ROTATING THE LOAD FOR TRANSPORT
Once fully lifted by the Retriever™ the operator engages the
rotator hydraulic control lever to turn the unit lengthwise on the trailer
for transport. After the unit is rotated for transport the operator engages
the hydraulic lock system and lowers the unit down onto the lock for secure
transport.
LOADING AND UNLOADING ON HEAD TRAILERS
The Retriever™ can load from, or unload onto, most head
trailers, providing the ultimate in versatility.
3-POINT EQUIPMENT
There's no need for "lowboy" trailers and a tractor or forklift to load
3-point equipment off the farm with the Retriever™... one man,
one truck and the Retriever™ make short work of these jobs!
LARGE HEADS
Moving large heads, like this 12 row model, is all in a days work for the
Retriever™. With tandem heavy-duty torsion axles, the Retriever ™ delivers a smooth ride when loaded.
HIGH VISIBILITY GOOSE NECK HITCH
The Retriever's high visibility goose neck hitch was designed specifically
for Retriever™ application to provide the clearest operator
view when backing up to an implement or head.
RETRIEVER™ LIFT SYSTEM
The Retriever™ features a massive rotation and lift system with
6" x 12" main hydraulic lift cylinders. Cylinder rods are 3" diameter for
maximum strength.
3-POINT LIFT SYSTEM
The Retriever's 3-Point Lift System makes hitching to 3-Point equipment
easier with the hydraulic extendable top link. Lower link arms are equipped
with heavy-duty pintle type latches that open widely for easy hook up and
feature positive locks to hold loads in place.
LED LIGHTS
Retriever™ SLT's feature full DOT approved LED lighting. LED
lights provide a tremendous reliability and service life advantage over old
style "incandescent" type lights. The Retriever's LED lights are estimated
to achieve a 100,000 hour service life! The Retriever™ wiring
is a plug in modular design enclosed in a braided nylon harness which can
be replaced in the future if ever needed with an easy to install, exact
factory replacement harness.
RUB RAILS AND TIE DOWNS
Standard equipment on all Retrievers. Includes heavy-duty rub rails and tie
down stake pockets on both sides of the trailer to provide numerous tie
down points for securing loads.
REMOTE HYDRAULIC OUTLETS
The Retriever is equipped with one set of hydraulic remote valves to unfold
wing-fold 3-point implements and stack-fold planters, etc., before lifting
and transporting. Remotes are conveniently located at the very rear of the
Retriever™.
Options
CLAAS FORAGE HARVESTER HEAD ADAPTER
The Claas Forage Harvester Head Adapter allows owners to use their
Retriever SLT trailer for transporting Claas forage harvester heads. Forage
harvester heads can be challenging to load and transport on conventional
trailers and the new Retriever Claas Forage Harvester Head Adapater solves
that problem. This setup is great for both dealers and forage harvester
operators alike.
OPTIONAL DECKING
Optional decking (two panels on bumper pull, four panels on goose neck
models) provides operators an additional payoff by combining light freight
movements with Retriever jobs.
SPARE TIRE
Keep your Retriever on the move with the optional spare tire and mount kit.
SLT models 16B and 16G feature the 215/75R17.5 tire and heavy duty solid
steel rim. The SLT 20B, SLT 20G and SLT 20GL models feature 235/75R17.5
tires.
KING-PIN HITCH FOR GOOSE NECK
Tow your Retriever SLT with a Semi-Tractor with the addition of our
King-Pin Hitch. The 4" square diameter fits right in the existing goose
neck coupler tube. Features a 10" bolster plate and is rated at 30,000#.
HEAD ADAPTER
The Retriever head adapter makes moving combine heads including small
grain, flex, corn and many draper heads, a one-man operation. One head
adapter moves John Deere corn and small grain heads made since 1970 and
Case-IH "new style" heads since 2006 as well as New Holland heads since
2002. With additional "pin on" arms the adapter converts to move "old
style" Case-IH heads and other brands. A separate adapter is available for
LEXION combine heads. Check with your Retriever representative for specific
model applications.
HEAD ADAPTER STORAGE
Included in the Head Adapter option package is this handy stow bracket that
provides secure storage for the head adapter when not installed on the
3-point arms. The head adapter mounts to the stow bracket with the same
pins used to mount it to the 3-point arms.
CABCAM VIDEO SYSTEM
The optional CabCAM video system provides the operator a clear view of the
rear of the Retriever and the implement or head while backing up during the
hitching process. Kit includes a weatherproof black and white camera with
audio capability and a 5.5" CRT black and white monitor for the truck cab.
Also included is a custom bracket to mount the camera on the rear of the
Retriever.
