Geringhoff Introduces New Stalk Chopper
 ✖  |
The German manufacturer, Geringhoff, has been selling cornhead mounted stalk choppers since the 1980's. Previous models consisted of interlocking roller bars under the snouts. The problem was that they were heavy and required considerable horsepower.
Now the company has introduced a new "Rota Disc" system that consists of 15 cutting discs that slice through special stalk-stripping rollers under the snouts. As stalks are pulled down, the discs cut through their entire length, which causes them to break down faster in the field than stalks that are simply cut into short pieces, says the manufacturer.
The stripping rollers and cutting discs are coupled to a transmission mounted on a frame at the back of the header. Any element of the cutting system can be removed individually, making repairs easy.
The new system is incorporated into Geringhoff headers that range in size up to 12-row, 30-in. They're being handled in North America by a number of dealers, including: FARM SHOW Followup, Willmar Farm Center, 3867 E. Hwy 12, Willmar, Minn. 56201 (ph 320 235 8123).
