The Future of High Yields
As part of the new Independence product line, the Patriot Corn Head™ was developed specifically for twin row harvesting in high yielding conditions. Our “Stine Edition” Patriot Corn Head™ was developed in cooperation with Stine Seeds, and tested extensively in thousands of twin row acres, with outstanding results.
Improve Profitability
The day is approaching when growers will consistently average 300 or even 400 bushels per acre. Companies like Stine Seed are investing in the research to make higher yielding corn, with greater per-acre profits a reality.
Geringhoff’s Patriot Corn Head™ delivers the leading harvest technology you will need on your farm, to maximize yields in twin row corn, and take your harvests to the next level—and beyond.
Innovative Design to Harvest High Yielding Twin Row Corn:
Twin row harvesting presents unique challenges that Geringhoff addresses in the Patriot Corn Head™. Because high yielding, high population twin row corn increases the volume of crop and residue you’ll process during harvest, your corn head must be able to excel in these demanding conditions.
With this in mind, the Patriot Corn Head™ was engineered to deliver outstanding performance on your farm, and superior performance in the field:
- Double sprocket gathering chains gently guide crop into the row units, virtually eliminating whipping and cob loss common to conventional twin row harvesting heads.
- Extra hard surfacing extends the life of snapping roll supports and deck plates
- Stainless steel wear guards extend the life of row dividers
- A dual-sprocket gathering chain system provides aggressive feeding in down corn, minimizing crop loss and maximizing retention.
Optional Equipment for Extreme Harvesting Conditions
When extremely difficult crop conditions arise, you’ll be ready with these additions to your Patriot Corn Head™:
- End row augers improve crop feeding and direct overhanging crop into the header
- Integrated Crop Flow (ICF) sweeper enables smooth harvesting, without slug feeding or plugging.
