Shredding and chopping in once
Two stalk rollers with different-sized diameters seize the plant and pull it downward in a constant motion. At the same time, another rotor fitted with 15 rotary knives cuts the plant up into uniformly short sections. This design ensures the plant is shredded during harvest, enabling faster rotting.
The horizontal chopper is located in the front area to the side of the picking row. This optimised position means that the plant is cut off very close to the ground at full speed, leaving a particularly short stubble which no longer provides sufficient habitat for pests.
Residue Management
Excellent straw spreading quality. Excellent chopping quality. Extremely short, uniform corn stubble.

Gathering Chains
Always ready and perfectly tensioned
The gathering chains are tensioned automatically. The gathering chain can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the Geringhoff special tool. As the chain tensioner is tuned to the patented sprocket, the driveline is protected from blockages caused by debris and gearbox failures are avoided. Geringhoff is the only manufacturer to offer automatic tensioning for the gathering chains.
