The RT490 is a new 490 hp Class VIII combine
from Versatile. True to the heritage of Versatile,
the RT490 was designed to be rugged, reliable
and simple to maintain and service.
Rotating
Concave Rotary
The RT490 separtates itself from traditional ro-
tary combines by utilizing a Rotating Concave
Rotary system (RCR). A 360 degree concave
counter rotates the rotor at 8 rpm. The moving
concave eliminates the traditional “dead zone”
found in typical rotary systems.
• Steady operation in high humidity or when
processing tangled crop
• Prevention of inclined chamber clogging
• Self-cleaning concave
• Prevents straw from building up in the concave
• Improved crop feeding for threshing
• More active threshing and separation
• Reduced grain shattering
• Minimum number of adjustments for harvesting
various crops
• Inclined beater chamber levels and uniformly
spreads the mass arriving at the rotor
• Rotating concave provides high-quality
threshing over the entire rotor surface
• Continuously variable drive ensures best
threshing parameters for each crop
