Aktiv AROS 800 and 1000 combine harvesters

The AROS 800 and 1000 models represented the third generation of combine harvesters from Aktiv, introduced in the mid-1960s. These models featured a modernized, angular design compared to their predecessors, the MS and M2S.

Key technical changes included a simplified construction where the driver's seat was positioned in the front left and the engine to the right. The harvesting process was updated to use an intake screw and inclined feeder instead of a cloth conveyor. Additionally, the second drum used in previous models was removed, and straw walkers were implemented for grain separation.

The AROS 800 featured a 2.2 m cutting width, a 42 PS Perkins 4-107 diesel engine, and a 1,400-liter grain tank. The larger AROS 1000 offered a 3.0 m cutting width, a 60 PS Perkins diesel engine, and a 1,750-liter grain tank.
