Floating Points For Deere Row Crop Head
"I wasn't happy with the original header points on my Deere row crop head. They did a poor job picking up down milo. I solved the problem by making my own floating points which work great in milo, sorghum, and soybeans. They also can be mounted on corn heads," says Larry Addison, Cimarron, Kan.
The floating header points simply bolt on in place of the original points. They're equipped with a 1 1/2-ft. long, 6-in. wide flat steel shoe that is free to pivot up or down as it slides along the ground. A steel rod angles downward at the front of the shoe to pick up stalks lying on the ground and move them up onto the point.
"They work best in down crops, but I leave mine on all the time. They work much better than the Deere points. Deere uses the same points on its row crop head that it uses on its corn head."
