Agritechnica 2011: NH combines get 12m and 14m headers
Until now the widest header on offer for New Holland combines was a 10.7m (35ft) unit.
But, the firm unveiled this 12m (40ft) aluminium-framed unit developed with Biso and a 14m (45ft) version is in the pipeline.
To deal with the flex over such a width, there’s a split auger and knife-drive with power transmitted to the cutterbar from the centre of the header.
The bigger unit will have a split reel. To handle tall tangled crops there is an extending table and integrated side-knives that fold in and out of work. Next year a demonstration machine will be working in the UK.
