Knife Stalk Rollers For Deere Corn Heads
The new knife stalk rollers are designed to replace the existing knife stalk rollers on Deere 90 series corn heads, simply bolting on in their place. The knife blades on the rollers are the same ones used on Case IH and New Holland corn heads. Clarke Machine casts its own spiral roll to accept the blades.
"Our knife stalk rollers offer a number of advantages over Deere's," says Huls. "The knife blades do an excellent job of cutting through corn stalks and will last for several years before they'll have to be replaced. The knife blades on Deere stalk rollers usually work okay the first year, but after that they get dull and it's expensive to resharpen or replace them. Also, our knife blades are designed so they can be turned upside down for twice the wear. The Deere knife blades can't be reversed."
The knife stalk rollers sell for $525 per row.
