Aktiv combine harvester historical documentation
Overview
Historical records detail various Aktiv combine harvester models produced during the 1960s.
Early models included the Aktiv M2S, which featured a 1.2-meter wide threshing drum and a 35 HP Mercedes diesel engine, and the Aktiv 800, which utilized a 42 HP Perkins diesel engine and an auger system.
Following these, the Aktiv 1000 was introduced in the mid-1960s as a mid-range, self-propelled model. It featured a modernized angular design, a 3.0-meter cutting width, and a 78 HP Perkins 4-236 diesel engine. Production for the Aktiv 1000 continued until approximately 1970.
Records also identify the AROS 800 and 1000 as the third generation of Aktiv combine harvesters, also introduced in the mid-1960s. These models utilized a modernized, angular design that differed from the earlier MS and M2S models. Technical updates included a simplified construction with the driver's seat positioned in the front left and the engine to the right. The harvesting mechanism transitioned from a cloth conveyor to an intake screw and inclined feeder, and the second drum used in previous models was replaced by straw walkers 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 provided a 3.0 m cutting width, a 60 PS Perkins diesel engine, and a 1,750-liter grain tank.
