Gleaner, Massey Ferguson and Challenger combines can now use the flexible DynaFlex draper header. Available in 30', 35' and 40' lengths, it has a 41"-wide draper conveying system that allows the crop heads to face the same direction, improving crop flow, feeding and threshing. A flexible cutterbar design cuts the crop close to the ground without gouging the soil. The automatic hydraulic header height control uses four potentiometers on the 30' header and six potentiometers on the 35' and 40' headers to relay ground contours to the combine, ensuring the closest cut. Compatible with 2003 AGCO combines and newer. Contact: www.agcoiron.com, www.masseyferguson.com and www.newfromchallenger.com.

The Crary Air Reel is a patented reel system equipped with high-velocity air. The Air Reel replaces the factory reel and adds the benefit of air while keeping the header more compact, providing better visibility. The constant stream of high-velocity air quickly feeds crop back to the auger, eliminating bunching and increasing the number

The hydraulic-drive, drag auger–style Demco 1350 grain cart provides 1,350-bu. capacity and gives the operator improved grain-unloading visibility with its forward-unloading auger. The 22"-diameter unloading auger extends out and forward 92" ahead of the box. This cart’s patent-pending pendant grip control and hydraulic block allow one remote outlet to perform three cart functions: auger fold, adjustable spout and auger flow gate. The cart is available with oscillating tracks or dual tires. The austempered cast hitch fits a Category 3 or 4 hammer-strap tractor drawbar. Price: $83,595.

New Holland flexes its harvesting muscle with the introduction of the CX8000 Series and CR9000 Series combines. The three models in the CX8000 Super Conventional Series (CX8070, CX8080 and CX8090) range from 322 hp to 400 hp.The combines use a patented rotary separator that separates nearly all of the grain before it reaches the straw walkers. The feeder and header reverser system can be operated either forward or reverse independent of the threshing unit, allowing the operator to work the slugs into the cylinder in a controlled manner. The 21' or 24' overheadstyle unloading augers move grain from the 295-bu. or 330-bu. tank at a rate of 3.2 bu. per second, which is the fastest of any conventional combine. Base price: $254,001. The CR9000 Series (CR9040, CR9060 and CR9070) employs New Holland’s Twin Rotor design to speed separation, boost grain quality and maximize capacity. The three models have turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engines that range from 305 hp to 400 hp.

The Killbros 1950 dual auger grain cart holds 1,100 bu. and unloads 500 bu. per minute. The new hydraulic sprout unloads grain downward or outward thanks to a 8'2" auger reach and 14'2" auger height. The horizontal auger features sliding gates and hinged cleanout doors for uniform unloading and complete cleanout. The hydraulic flow indicator helps the operator control the metering of grain. The double #80 roller chain provides positive drive control. The 1950 is also available with a rollover tarp, scale package and chain oiler. Price: $35,470.

The standard hopper gives plenty of clearance under horizontal bin unload discharge heads with its 12.5" hopper height (plus rubber extension). A low-profile version is also available for extremely low powerheads or for reloading semi trailers in the field. This auger requires 40 hp. Price: $5,400. Contact: Westfield Industries, P.O. Box 39, Rosenort, MB, Canada, R0G 1W0; (866) 467-7207; www.grainaugers.com.

The 7760 self-propelled cotton picker boasts nonstop harvesting. As the turbocharged 500-hp engine powers the machine through the crop, an accumulator, a module-building unit and the on-board carrying capacity of a built module coordinate a continuous cotton harvest. The picker builds a round bale and wraps it in a plastic cover—a change from the rectangular bales and tarps in traditional harvesting systems. The ability to build the module on the harvester eliminates extra equipment, such as boll buggies and module builders, and labor. Base price: $592,548. The 70 Series combines utilize Big Launch from Big Green John Deere PowerTech Plus engines to muscle through the field, and bullet rotors enhance threshing and separating. The CommandCenter display screen is mounted on the arm rest. It provides yield and moisture information, as well as text messages about calibration, diagnostics and system-alerts.

John Deere combines can be paired with a new line of 600C Series corn heads. The 600C Series offers greater material handling, grain savings and residue management. The corn head includes a redesign for higher-speed stalk rolls, larger gathering chains and a more aggressive auger.The StalkMaster chopping option is available on three of the six 600C models. Two other options include more aggressive stalk rolls or redesigned longerwear knife rolls to match other residuemanagement needs. Models include six-, eight-, and 12-row configurations. Base price range: $40,824 to $81,549.

Killbros Grain Handling has two new single-auger grain carts: Model 1175 with 750-bu. capacity and the 1185 with 850-bu. capacity.The auger is 17", which can handle 400 bu. per minute. Corner auger designs provide maximum visibility, while the sump design achieves complete unloading. Options: wheel configurations, directional downspout, scales and hydraulic drive kit. Price: Model 1185, with 30.5x32 tires and 120" rigid axle, $26,635; Model 1175, with 24.5x32 tires and 120" rigid axle, $23,305. Contact: Alliance Product Group, P.O.

With the Soft Touch technology Oxbo developed for seed corn harvesting, the company has designed the 50 Series corn heads for gentle, efficient ear removal. The Oxbo 50 Series corn heads cut the ear off the stalk with exclusive tapered intermeshing knife rolls and remote actuated stripper plates (RASPs). Combined with Oxbo’s beveled and chromed stripper plates, the constantly centered RASPs create straighter stalk pulldown into the stripper plates, precise ear removal, reduced ear damage and less trash in the combine. The 50 Series is available in sizes ranging from 6-row to 14-row with 30" spacing and limited configurations in 20" spacing. Designed for all crop conditions, the Oxbo corn head has a unique row unit frame for a lower profile without frame damage or ground interference. Base price: 6-row, $49,385; 12-row, $91,555.

Extending its capabilities, MacDon introduces the FD70 FlexDraper to harvest soybeans, edible beans and cereal crops. The 45' header matches or exceeds the harvesting capacities of Class 9 combines. The FD70 has a three-section flex frame, which allows the header to retain a consistently close relationship between the knife and the reel. The FlexDraper provides smoother crop feeding into the combine’s feeder house. The Float Optimizer system automatically adjusts the header height to ground conditions, and the patented C-shaped cutterbar can cut at ground level. Contact: a MacDon dealer; www.macdon.com.

Outfitted with the same engine and twin rotors as larger models, the New Holland CR9065 packs that harvesting power in a smaller frame. A Class 8 machine, the CR9065 is powered by a 10.3-liter engine and features 17" twin rotors. The combine boasts 420 hp rated and 463 hp maximum. Grain tank capacity totals 315 bu. An auxiliary fuel tank increases the standard 200-gal. capacity by an additional 66 gal. The Twin Rotor design on the CR9000 Series combines generates an increased centrifugal force for faster separation, higher grain quality and maximum capacity. The SLS self-leveling system can run at peak efficiency at up to 15% slope. Contact: a New Holland dealer; www.newholland.com/na.
