Thought through in the smallest detail
The Mais Star* Horizon concept relies on the proven design of the Mais Star* models: Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion. The integrated horizontal chopper requires a low amount of drive power to shred the gathered corn straw for faster rotting, virtually eliminating the need for mulching or follow-up chopping.
The optimized position of the horizontal chopper ensures the Mais Star* Horizon models produce a uniformly short stubble even in varying row spacings or when the combine is driven at an angle to the plant rows. The system is suitable for all crops even when infested with weeds or grass, and handles mature, tough plants with ease.
Residue Management
Excellent straw spreading quality. Perfect chopping quality. Eliminates the need for stover post-processing to enable subsequent tillage operations. Extremely short, uniform stubble.
