Radford Harvesting designed and built the worlds biggest front 61ft. Used on a Claas Lexion 600 which is currently the highest intake combine harvester on the market.
yeah but the 61 footer is custom made this is production front a MIDWEST Crophawk I think they know make a 50ft front for the 9120 CIH and the 9080 NH
If you have a 45 foot head can you still unload on the go? Im guessing the tractor would need to get very close or you would need an unload auger extention.
do you know how to say choak?? cuz that is whats going to happen. and what kind of combine is going to carry this a class VII combine wouldn't want much to do with it in a good crop
At Honey Bee we make a 45'Grain Belt Plus that is used on the JD and NH Combines, we also make Headers, for Case IH, We have also Successfully made a 50' Grain Belt Plus, but is really heavy so only the biggest Combines can Carry it, we had to use a CAT/Lexicon to take it around the field.
The reason for the bigger heads is to make combines work at their top capacity,,, a 9860 with a 30 ft table would have to be driven so fast,,, we run 36 ft on a 9650 sts and had that head on a 9600 before that,,, pretty good match for either one,,,of course more capacity in the sts so you can move alittle faster.
Big headers on combines are very stupid. It don't make you go faster. Plus if your yields are high you won't be able to make it to the other end of your field without having to unload. So then your grain truck has to chase you all over the field.
We have a 2008 John Deere 9870 STS with 30 ft. header that is perfect, would never want anything bigger.
From what I have seen of the Aussie videos, they don't have much straw. Probably not much yield either because they don't get much rain. The draper headers are nice though, regardless of the width because of their flexibility and because they feed the wheat heads first into the feeder house and cylinder or rotor.
Our wheat is a lot easier to thrash than canada or the US. and yes, I've harvested in both countries. I run a 42 ft on a 9860. We cut wheat from 20 bpa to 75. I can still run 4 mph in 75 bushel wheat. I've cut wheat in texas going 30 bpa with a 9760 and 30 ft head and only been able to run 4 mph. As for them getting bent, I haven't heard that, we have had ours for 4 years and love it.
You would definately NOT be able to cut irrigated wheat or barly with that header. We use 25-30 foot headers here, and usually travel about 2.5-3 MPH. 45-50 foot headers would probably work on desert dry-farm, if its REALLY flat.
ok guys until now, macdon has made the john Deere, case ih, and new Holland draper heads. Now john Deere has there own draper coming out next year.

It's no longer the biggest combine in the world.
The Claas Lexion 600 can harvest with an 14 meters header at 6.0 km/h.
