New Holland Varifeed Grain Headers
POA

DESCRIPTION

Successful combine harvesting starts with the right header, after all, you can only process what you actually put into the machine. By fitting a New Holland header, you will unlock your combine’s full harvesting potential and bring home a successful harvest. Want more? New Holland headers have been designed to perfectly match New Holland combines to send your harvesting productivity to the next level.

New Holland revolutionised the face of combine harvesting back in 1952, when the very first self-propelled combine harvester in Europe, the MZ, rolled of Leon Claeys’ production line in Zedelgem, Belgium, and the rest, as they say is history. Well, not quite. New Holland took a further giant leap forward in 1975, with the development of the very first Twin Rotor™ combine. A new era in grain and straw quality was ushered in. Today, CR Twin Rotor™ combines have grain crackage as low as 0.1%. The best in the business.

Headers play a vital role in New Holland’s industry-leading sustainable agricultural programme, the Clean Energy Leader® strategy. The headers used to harvest rape seed are powering the biodiesel revolution and those which work in maize are helping providing the raw ingredients for first and second generation bioethanol production. They are truly harvesting energy.

New Holland offers a header for every type of crop, from small grain, through to rapeseed, maize, soya, flax, beans, grass seed, clover, millet or even rice, and many other emerging and traditional crops besides. Whether you work on undulating terrain or on wide open prairies that stretch for miles, your New Holland header will deliver trop drawer performance. In all fields. In all crops. Everywhere.

Flexibility is king when harvesting. That is why the Varifeed allows operators to immediately react to changing crop conditions. How? It’s simple: they can adjust the position of the knives whilst harvesting, enabling them to best utilise the 575mm of fore-aft adjustment. If that wasn’t enough, you’ll never have to worry about inserting time consuming deck plates again. Simply select your knife position from the comfort of the cab, watch the cutter bar extend and away you go.

The large 660mm diameter auger has a heavy duty, reinforced construction to enable it to process high volumes of sometimes abrasive crop with ease. The intensive international field test programme ensures that all components can withstand extensive harvesting activity. The retractable feeding fingers across the entire length of the auger assist smooth feeding, efficiently delivering material to the straw elevator, right from the very tip of the header.

In order to deliver ultimate harvesting efficiency in today’s largest fields, the 12.5 metre Varifeed™ header will become the default choice. Ideal for operations which utilise controlled traffic, the header’s construction guarantees strength and durability, while the split auger manages large volumes of crop with ease. The dualknife drives, located at either end of the header, maintain powerful cutting across the full cutterbar width, as well as assisting with perfect weight distribution to produce with uniform stubble height.

The advanced Automatic Header Height Control system is available in three operational modes:

Optional 18 teeth rape knives scythe through matted crops and can be quickly and simply fitted to the Varifeed™ header. These knives are driven hydraulically for enhanced operating durability. Controlled through the IntelliView™ IV colour touchscreen monitor, they guarantee more efficient rape harvesting. When not required, they can be stored in the dedicated compartment on the header itself.
