OROS CORNADO corn headers

Benefits

• The stalk rolls have a square cross-section, but unlike competitors' rolls, in addition to four sharpened edges (knives) they have four feeding edges and counter-knife plates (which prevent stalks and trash from wrapping), allowing harvesting speeds of up to 13 km/h.
• The needle bearing in the roll tip, which needed regreasing every shift, has been replaced by two sealed, maintenance-free roller bearings.
• The header gearbox housings are made of aluminium; the lighter housing allowed larger-diameter bearings to be fitted, increasing the bearing contact area, which reduces wear and increases service life and safety margin.
• Each gearbox is protected by a safety clutch that does not need replacing after it trips; the clutch is restored to service by greasing it with a lithium-based grease.
• The gearboxes are driven by a cardan-type driveline with maintenance-free hypoid gearboxes.
• The gathering chain with an automatic telescopic spring tensioner needs no maintenance or adjustment.
• The header frame has brackets for stubble protectors that prevent damage to the combine's drive wheels.
• The gap between the stripper plates is adjusted hydraulically to suit stalk thickness.
• All working parts are made of high-strength metals, and the cutting mechanisms are hardfaced with high-alloy steels, extending service life to 4,000 ha.
• Wide choice of options.
