Fold Up Cornhead

Fold up cornhead COMBINES Accessories 17-1-22 Several European manufacturers make fold-up cornheads but this new model from Cressoni in Italy may be the best yet. The 6-row 30-in. cornhead breaks in the middle, with each half raising up vertically in line with the combine wheels. What makes it unique is that each side of the cornhead is driven independently so there's no complicated joint needed at center between both sides of the feeder auger and snapper units. Head can be folded from the cab. Two large hydraulic cylinders at center provide lifting power. One advantage of the design is that when folded the header opens up clear access to the feederhouse. Designed to fit any combine. The folding mechanism holds the two sides of the header low enough so the operator can see to both sides as well as straight ahead. Turn signal lights are fitted to each side of the header for safety on the road.
