616C Corn Head

The massive gathering chains are based on a CA620 chain design with deep conveying lugs for high levels of productivity.

Customer Value:

• Large, deep conveying lugs provide high levels of productivity for faster harvesting.
• Robust design and construction ensure maximum uptime and minimum maintenance.

The 600 Series Corn Head dual-auger strippers significantly reduce the amount of auger wrapping in heavy grass, vines, or wet/damp down corn, as well as keeping ears down in the auger floor rather than riding over the top of auger.

The 600C Corn Heads feature a large, 45.7-cm (18-in.) tip diameter cross auger provides unmatched crop-handling capacity.

The deep auger flight design provides for even crop material flow, allowing faster harvesting speeds.

Auger to row-unit speed is optimised to feeding of crop and minimising crop loss due to ear tossing.

The drive system on non StalkMaster 600C Corn Heads is designed with robust components to match the high capacity that these heads provide.

Customer Value:

• High levels of reliability and durability to ensure maximum uptime.
• Designed to efficiently transmit power for high performance and low fuel consumption.
• Minimum routine maintenance minimises lost time and expense.

The opposed knife stalk rolls are the best equipment when the typical harvesting condition is dry corn and using the StalkMaster™ stalk chopping option.

Customer Value:

• Majority of stalk material will be sized at 12 inches or longer to provide soil protection from wind and water.
• Designed to harvest with low power consumption for high performance and low fuel consumption.

Manufactured of highly durable material for longer wear life.

The straight-fluted stalk rolls are the best equipment when the maximum stalk residue length is desired.

Customer Value:

• Majority of stalk material will be sized at to 30.5 cm (12 in.) or longer to provide maximum soil protection from wind and water.
• Designed to harvest with very low power consumption for high performance and low fuel consumption.
• Manufactured of highly durable material for longer wear life.

The entrance into the auger bed floor of the 600 Series Corn Head has been lowered in comparison to previous John Deere corn heads. This enables gravity to do its job and let crop follow the slope designed into the auger bed and move it quickly away from the row-unit.

Customer Value:

• The design of the auger bed floor minimizes the loss of free grain.
• The geometry reduces the chance of damage to the ear due to backfeeding or hesitation at the rear of the row-unit.
• Auger strippers improve crop flow in challenging crop conditions maximising performance and harvesting speed.

600C Series Corn Heads row unit points and covers are constructed with a tough, durable, solid polyethylene material known as Perma-Glide.

Customer Value:

• Surfaces will not rust and resist dents providing maintenance free operation.
• Reinforcement ribs for greater strength and reliability to ensure maximum up time.
• Smooth surface and very low co-efficient of friction provides easier feeding of crop and material into the header, especially in down crop conditions maximising performance.

Customer Value:

• Maintains harvesting efficiency in down crop and low-visibility (dusty) conditions.
• Increases the acre-per-hour performance potential and reduces grain loss.
• Enhances operator comfort and reduces operator stress.
