Auto adjustable deck plate cane sensor

Available only on Ultimate Tech Package, Corn Head Automation enhances harvesting efficiency by automatically adjusting critical settings to optimize performance in varying crop conditions. This technology reduces operator workload, improves throughput, and minimizes grain loss.

Auto Adjustable Deck Plate: The system uses a cane sensor mounted on the corn head row unit to continuously measure stalk diameter variety. Based on these readings, it automatically adjusts the deck plate spacing in real time to match crop size and conditions.

Customer Benefits:

Optimized ear retention: Keeps ears intact while minimizing kernel loss.
Adaptability: Responds instantly to changing crop conditions without operator intervention.
Reduced operator workload: Eliminates the need for manual adjustments during harvest.
Improved efficiency: Maintains consistent performance across the entire field.

Auto BackShaft Speed: The system automatically adjusts the corn head back shaft speed based on combine ground speed and crop load. As the combine accelerates or slows down, the back shaft speed is regulated to maintain optimal crop flow and prevent overload.

Customers Benefits:

Consistent crop flow: Prevents bottlenecks and uneven feeding.
Reduced wear and tear: Avoids excessive strain on gear cases and row units.
Higher productivity: Maintains throughput without manual intervention
Operator comfort: Eliminates constant speed adjustments during harvest.

Corn Head Automation allows operators to focus on harvesting rather than constant adjustments. This results in Higher productivity and lower operator fatigue.
