The solution is the CF and CR Corn Heads from John Deere. Available in a wide range of row spacings, these corn heads match the capacity of John Deere combines, letting you harvest up to 7,200 bu (253,721 L) per hour in high-yielding, dry corn. With the new CF18 30 expect 11 percent less passes / quarter section with the CF18 30 versus CF 16 30. You can harvest 65 more acres &nbsp;per day with a 16-row corn head compared to a 12-row corn head at the same ground speed.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cover more acres per hour and put more clean grain in the tank </strong>– The larger, 19-in. (48.3-cm) auger with increased torque helps you cover more acres per hour than John Deere’s current 700C Corn Heads. This ensures you can harvest high-yielding or high-moisture corn with ease. What’s more, you can reduce the pinching of kernels since the auger has a smaller and more consistent gap between the auger flighting and floor compared to the Geringhoff Rota Disc® system.</li> <li><strong>Relax and enjoy worry-free, automated, on-the-go unloading </strong>– The massive capacity boost of an X Series Combine with a 16-row corn head means you’ll need to unload more often. Take the worry out of on-the-go unloading by choosing Machine Sync, which allows the combine operator to control the tractor and grain cart's movement to make unloading more comfortable than ever.</li> <li><strong>AutoTrac™ Row Sense™ is the perfect choice whether you harvest six or 18 rows at a time </strong>–To get harvest done on time, you need to run faster, which will make you appreciate AutoTrac Row Sense. Corn heads offer AutoTrac RowSense in base equipment to closely follow the rows &nbsp;with less operator effort. In down corn, terraces, or pivots, it works efficiently while reducing operator’s stress.</li> </ul> <p>Rota Disc is a trademark of Carl Geringhoff Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH &amp; Co.

A folding corn head can help reduce the time and effort you currently spend moving between and opening up fields. It eliminates the need for header trailers and running employees back and forth when changing between fields.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nobody folds or unfolds faster</strong> – Fold and unfold in less than 60 seconds when connected to S7 Combines and approximately 40 seconds with X Series Combines.</li> <li><strong>Better visibility in tight spaces</strong> – When folded, the corn head sits 30.5 cm (12 in.) lower, resulting in a 2.5-m (8-ft, 2 in.) improvement in visibility over the 700FC.</li> <li><strong>Choose the size that fits your operation</strong> – With additional row-unit configurations up to 18 rows, it’s easy to match your corn head with your planting widths. Folding corn head widths include a 16R in 50.8-cm (20-in.), 55.9-cm (22-in.), or 76.5-cm (30-in.) row spacings and an 18R in 50.8-cm (20-in.) or 55.9-cm (22-in.) row spacings to perfectly match the rest of your operation.</li> <li><strong>Light up fields at night&nbsp;</strong>– Make it easier to use your corn head at night with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. Lights located on the end divider tips can help prevent collisions with the grain cart or fence posts. It also helps you re-engage in crop easier at the end rows because you can quickly see where your outer end fender is to make sure you’re on the right row. Additionally, LED lights on the back of the corn head illuminate stubble height, making it easier to see how your corn head is performing at night.</li> </ul></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion2_component"><div class="accordion2_top"><div class="text-size-medium text-weight-bold">All-day performance in all crops and conditions</div><div class="accordion2_icon w-embed"><svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M25.3333 15.667V16.3336C25.3333 16.7018 25.0349 17.0003 24.6667 17.0003H17V24.667C17 25.0351 16.7015 25.3336 16.3333 25.3336H15.6667C15.2985 25.3336 15 25.0351 15 24.667V17.0003H7.3333C6.96511 17.0003 6.66663 16.7018 6.66663 16.3336V15.667C6.66663 15.2988 6.96511 15.0003 7.3333 15.0003H15V7.33365C15 6.96546 15.2985 6.66699 15.6667 6.66699H16.3333C16.7015 6.66699 17 6.96546 17 7.33365V15.0003H24.6667C25.0349 15.0003 25.3333 15.2988 25.3333 15.667Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div></div><div style="width: 1118px; height: 0px;" class="accordion2_bottom"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><div><div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/combines_headers/x9/r4f090652_cornhead_450x300.jpg" alt="John Deere corn head harvesting corn"><span class="caption">John Deere corn head harvesting corn</span> </div> </div> <p>No cornfield is perfect.

RowMax Chopping Stalk Rolls provide 30 percent better wear life, consume less power, and keep more trash out of the combine. They also size 50 percent of the residue less than 6-in. (15.2-cm) long, which speeds breakdown and burial without washing or blowing away in the field.</li> <li><strong>Reduce tire and track wear while increasing trade-in value </strong>– Minimize tire and track damage with John Deere Stalk Deflectors that are one-fifth the weight of Lankota® Stalk Stomper® equipment. John Deere-designed and factory-installed Stalk Deflectors are lightweight and directly installed onto the frame. Set behind each row, they fracture corn stubble by pushing it down toward the ground, reducing the chance of damage to the tires and tracks of your combine, as well as any other equipment you take into the field. Not only does it extend the life and increase the trade-in value of your tires, but it also reduces overall maintenance costs.</li> </ul> <p>Calmer is a trademark of Calmer Corn Heads, Inc.
