Crop Savers For Grainheads
You'll like these new "crop savers" for all direct cut grain headers that catch shattered grain as well as sunflower and milo heads, improving crop flow into the combine and reducing grain loss.Inventor Ethan Britten of Haswell, Colo., says his Crop Savers work better than any other crop-catching attachments on the market. "They're 4 1/2 in. wide by 18 in. long so they extend further in front of the cutterbar than other crop catching fingers and because they're made out of smooth, `slippery' plastic they improve flow of crop material into the header," he says.
Britten says his Crop Savers are the only bolt-on grain saving attachments that'll fit quick-cut sickles. They're held in place with lightweight metal brackets that bolt to the underside of the cutterbar. No modification of header is required.
They sell for $22/ft. of header.
