The dust has settled from day 2 of the 2011 Farm Progress Show’s field demos, and the twin row portion of the demonstrations are in the books.
The Geringhoff Elite Series corn head continued its impressive introductory run with another great day, speeding through the twin row planted corn with ease.
The demo head is equipped with Geringhoff’s new Integrated Crop Flow System, designed for quick installation, approximately seven hours is all it takes to install the ICF Sweeper and get in the field.
I was able to see the high speed harvesting first hand, sitting in the combine furnished by On Track Farming we got the go ahead to start running after the combine in front of us was approximately 500 feet ahead. We wanted to catch him. Running at 6 miles per hour in high yield twin row corn, the 16 row 30 inch Geringhoff head had no problem in catching up with the 12 row head in front of us.
Tomorrow we switch to single 30 inch rows. If you can’t make it to the field demos make sure to check back for our Farm Progress Show wrap up.
Also, you can check out some quick videos from Tuesday’s action on Youtube:
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Nice blog. I have farming related blog site. If you interested in farming have a look.
Thank you for sharing. A flow wrapper removes all the manual labor involved with packaging items into a hermetically sealed pouch.
