Designed to cater for high yield conditions

The 4400 corn headers are designed to handle increasing corn yields and tougher corn plants. With the increased productivity of the Axial-Flow^® combines, the double roller chains run in an oil bath, to operate the row units in 8 and 12 and 16 row corn headers. It gives them the ability to handle the toughest and heaviest crop conditions at the maximum reliabilty. The row unit gearboxes themselves are a heavy-duty design. All row units are slip clutch protected and run in an oil bath for quiet running and high reliability.

Chopping ability

A perfect chop is essential with corn stalks, speeding up and enhancing their decomposition and preventing stalk borer pests from overwintering in the crop. With the 4400 header the corn plants are pulled down by high speed stalk rollers fitted with hardened knives, to ensure a proper grip on the plant to prevent the straw from entering the combine. Optional stalk choppers are available for each row, chopping the stubble close to ground, and to chop the straw pulled down by the rollers. The chopped straw is spread evenly over the rows for fast decomposition. The choppers can be engaged or disengaged separately for every row when the header is used in very stony conditions.

Simple servicing

Simplicity is key when it comes to servicing. On 4400 series headers the row unit dividers can easily be opened one handed, with gas struts providing assistance. Every header also comes with a spring tension release tool for removing the gathering chain. To move quickly from one field to another without leaving the comfort of the cab, both six- and eight-row headers are available in a foldable configuration.
