Superior Management
Patented BT Chopper® Stalk Rolls cut, chop, and shear cornstalks into confetti-like residue for fast decomposition, easier planting and higher yields. You’ll reduce a pass across the field simply by running your corn head, saving you time and money.
more grain in the tank
Our Patented Multi-Zone Beveled Stripper Plates reduce kernel loss and mitigates trash intake into the combine, putting more grain in the tank and money in your pocket.
TRASH REDUCING “SLOW DOWN” SPROCKETS
Our patented 6-Tooth Drive Sprockets slow down gathering chains by 25% vs. factory John Deere 90 series corn heads to reduce kernel loss and trash intake. The larger 9-Tooth Idler Sprocket helps the grabbing and conveying ability in adverse crop conditions.
Realigned Design
Calmer Heads are strategically realigned to reduce ear toss problems and allow for the better flow of material from the tray to the feeder house opening in high-speed harvesting conditions.
effective cross auger
Calmer’s oversized 18-inch cross auger has a 26-inch pitch to help convey material to the center of the head at a slower pace vs. older factory heads for a more efficient handoff of material to the feeder house. We adjust the auger with 1 3/4″ clearance to reduce ear slicing and mitigate kernel loss.
