Elite Series Round Up

With the busy winter show circuit right around the corner, it’s going to be the general public’s first real chance to get an up close and personal look at the new Elite Series cornheads. 

So before you step on the lot at one of Geringhoff’s 14 booth spaces this winter, take a chance to recap all the new exclusive features the Elite Series has to offer:

Adventures in Service - Eastern US

Geringhoff service log, entry 10-26-11. I received a message from a Geringhoff sales representative for the North Eastern United States. His name, Erik Quanbeck. His mission? To evaluate and support the new Elite Series of corn heads placed in his territory. Here is Erik’s account of his travels:

It's not just a video, it's a "sizzle reel"

After the jump, you will see the newest sizzle reel for the Geringhoff Elite Series of corn heads. This particular version includes footage from the 16 row 22 inch Rota Disc Elite that was featured yesterday on this blog.

Introducing the SunLite * Updated with video

September was a big month for Geringhoff releases. The Elite Series head finally made its first appearance at the field demos at the Farm Progress show. There was and continues to be a big buzz over the newest line of corn heads. But, lost in some of that excitement was the launch of another product at the Husker Harvest show in Grand Island Nebraska two weeks later. That is where Geringhoff unveiled their newest product to the masses; The SunLite Sunflower head.

Available for order now, the SunLite comes in two different sizes, a 25 foot model and a 30 foot model. For more information on the head and it’s features go to the product page at Geringhoff’s website.

I had a chance to run with the head in the field outside of Isabel South Dakota. Since it was a new product I was very excited to see the new machine in action. And it did not disappoint. It did a great job of gathering and bringing in the sunflowers. I saw virtually no head loss throughout the day. 

A big thanks to Premier Equipment in Isabel for setting that up. Here are some pictures * and video from the field:

You may recognize me from such shows as, The Discovery Channel...

This video is a few years old, but it is still pretty neat none the less. One episode of How Stuff Works on the Discovery Channel tackled farming. In one section of the show they explain how a combine and corn head work. Check the 1:21 mark of the video for a star powered cameo.

Rota Disc Elite turns it up to 11

Here is some pretty rocking footage of the Rota Disc in action at it's introductory field demo at the Farm Progress Show last week.

Turn it up to 11 and enjoy! \m/
