Hungarian Corn Header Coming To Market
A new stalk-chopping corn header from Hungary that sells for 10 to 15 percent less than other comparable corn heads was on display at the recent Big Iron farm show in Fargo, N. Dak.
    The OptiCorn header is being distributed in the U.S. by Sheyenne Tooling & Mfg., Cooperstown, N. Dak. It’s available in 8 and 12-row models on 30-in. spacing.
  “We’re in our third year of testing and the results look great,” says territory sales rep Brandy Edland. “Compared to the Geringhoff corn header, it does a nicer job of shredding stalks and evenly distributing them, leaving your fields ready for no-till the following spring, The blades are removable for sharpening or replacement.”
  Remote-controlled snapping plates allow the operator on-the-go adjustability from the cab when field conditions change. “You can close the plates for smaller stalks, and open them up for thicker stalks,” says the company.
    Each row unit is slip clutch protected, and there are sealed bearings on the snapping rolls to eliminate the need for daily maintenance.
