CORN HEADS

 

New Holland knows that it is the small things which can make an enormous difference when it comes to efficient harvesting. That is why a 360° vision of corn header development was taken into account when designing the new header. Extensive testing was carried out in Europe, North America and South America to ensure that the new generation of corn headers is right for your farm.

FLEXIBLE, DURABLE POINTS

The islands and dividers are produced using advanced rotomoulding techniques and are exclusively constructed of plastic. This means that they can, literally, take a battering and bounce back to their previous shape. In addition, their polyethylene construction absorbs impact, so the ears don’t bounce out of the corn header. The result: lower losses and higher capacity. This is perfect when working in the harshest conditions, as you’ll save both time and money.

REDESIGNED FENDERS ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY

The header fenders have been completely redesigned to improve your profitability. We moved the powered auger divider to the outside of the fender which reduces ear loss in standing corn. Why? The cornstalks are safely gathered into the header and do not fall over the edge. Even if you’re not using the powered divider, the concave shape of the fender catches any falling ears and transfers them into the header for processing.

FOLD UP POINTS FOR EASIER SERVICING

All points fold up simply and easily to enable easy access for routine checks, servicing and even cleaning. There’s more. The dividers and fenders fold up on gas struts, halving the effort and facilitating access. They are even safer too, since a safety latch has been included in their design to keep them securely in position.

PRECISION POINT ADJUSTMENT

Two built-in divider point adjustment settings have been developed to ensure your corn header always works at the most efficient setting for you. The rugged lynch pin enables overall point adjustment and this can be further fine-tuned by altering the bolt to help you achieve specific cutting heights.

EVEN SAFER ROAD TRANSPORT

Safety is of prime concern when undertaking high-speed road transport. New latches securely hold the points in a vertical position to prevent dangerous drop down. These latches have been extensively tested on the world’s bumpiest roads.

SUNFLOWER AND TALL CORN KITS

Specialist sunflower growers can modify their existing corn headers with the addition of a sunflower harvesting attachment. The ‘‘V’-shaped knife efficiently cuts the stem and swiftly transfers the head into the combine. New Holland has also developed a specific attachment for operations which work in extra-tall corn. Vertical fender extension plates prevent the loss of valuable cobs over the sides.
