Quantum Pro
Efficiency and precision in field trials
The Quantum Pro plot combine is the most powerful machine from the WINTERSTEIGER Quantum line of products. It was developed in collaboration with market-leading research companies – with the aim of meeting the toughest of requirements when working with high-yield corn and soybean varieties. The visionary design of theplot combineprovides a solid foundation for mastering the future challenges of row crops research.
The Quantum Pro offersthe same impressive functions as the other two solutions from the WINTERSTEIGER Quantum product line – and even more besides. What's more, this machine is setting new standards in relation to performance, header widths, grain tank volumes, and stability. Thus, the Quantum Pro plot combine represents the highest configuration level within its generation of combine products.
The wide headers and extremely large grain tank make the Quantum Pro ideal for seed multiplication and for work involving foundation seeds. The modular design means that the machine is easier to clean than ever and enables compliance with purity standards.

Separation of grain and air via innovative airfoil separator
Grain tank
The grain tank is a standard option and comes in two different sizes with a capacity of 1,500 or 1,700 liters. It is installed in the center section of the machine between the front and rear axles to ensure even weight distribution. A flap in the bottom allows for easy cleaning of the tank. A compressed air connection is also installed next to the upper grain tank door and can be used for a compressed air nozzle to simplify cleaning.
Performance features of the grain tank:
-
Electronic level indicator and window to the cabin
-
Fast unloading speed for emptying the entire tank in less than 2 minutes
-
Hydraulic, folding unloading auger with an overhead loading height of 3.2 m (11’8”), optionally 4.2 m (15’2”)
-
Easy cleaning for seed multiplication and basic seed harvest
Sampling methods
Quantity-controlled sample definition
Sample definition with the Quantum Plus is clear-cut and offers a wide range of options. The "Easy Sample" module in the harvesting software is used to predefine the type of sample or combination of samples.
The sample volume is determined using a simple, manual process. This can also be done without the use of tools on the side of the machine.The sample volume is adjustable within a certain range. The following sample definition variants are supported:

Timed sample definition
Sample definition using a time-controlled sample flap allows larger, plot-homogeneous samples to be taken. Once a defined time has been preset on the on-board computer, the material can then be sampled by the operator using the sampler in the cabin. The maximum sample size of the time-dependent sample is 20 liters (40 lbs), the repeatability of the sample amount is approximately five percent.
Sampling in the cabin
Sampling is performed in the cabin as per the sample definition. The operator presses a button to start the process. An optional foot switch is also available to keep both hands free for sampling.The sampling system is dust-free, so the cabin does not become contaminated.If the harvested seeds amount to less than 20 liters, the system can be used to bag the entire plot in the cabin. Sampler
performance features:
Ergonomic sample outlets on rear of cabin Designed for operation by one or two people
Monitored sampling system: The system stops when the next sample is ready and the previous sample has not yet been taken.
Continuously adjustable sample volume up to 20 kg with an accuracy of 5 %
Grain flow monitoring
Sample storage
Performance features
560 l storage volume (20 cu ft)
Optional extras for the Quantum Pro plot combine
The Quantum family by WINTERSTEIGER
Quantum family of combines consists of three models in a modular design. Designed with user needs in mind, the plot combines set new standards in terms of throughput, user-friendliness, and crop logistics.
The Quantum Core – a mid-size, high-end plot combine – completes the range, meaning that we have the right machine for all plot sizes and budgets. Like its predecessors, the Quantum Plus and Quantum Pro, the Quantum Core can be adapted to suit your individual requirements.
