Going where no corn head has gone before


Greetings again from Decatur Illinois, home of the 2011 Farm Progress Show. Before the field demos got under way today around 11:00 am, the combines and heads were in the field harvesting and making sure that all their settings were right. Other than some corn being a little wet, conditions were generally good and everyone was cruising along fine. That was until this:


There was some down corn in the demo field that was causing some problems. That is where Geringhoff stepped in. Where all the other combines and heads turned in for the morning, the Geringhoff said BRING IT ON.


The Rota Disc Elite with ICF Sweeper went in “head” first and made short work of the corn, leaving nothing but a finely chopped field behind it. After a meal like that you would think that the Geringhoff would be full and content, but with the real deal field demos around the corner, that surely isn’t the case.
