2023 Geringhoff MS 1200 F

Two-roller system head with stripping knives
Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion.

This enables the deck plates to strip the corn cob off the plant. The unchopped corn straw remains in the field, protecting the soil from erosion.

Features may include:

• High Performance. Reliable. Efficient.

The Mais Star* system in motion

• Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion.
• This enables the deck plates to strip the corn cob off the plant. The unchopped corn straw remains in the field, protecting the soil from erosion.

Excellent Performance

• Great performance requires an exceptional drive system. Our headers are driven by a reliable crown wheel gearbox we deliberately designed a system that does work without chains and belts to ensure smooth harvesting.

Safe and Reliable

• Geringhoff uses Centaflex® couplings to connect the row units. The dampers on the couplings significantly reduce vibration and shock loads on the gearbox that drives the row unit, thereby multiplying its reliability.

Excellent service life

• An excellent service life, low maintenance, great flexibility, and compatibility with different combines are truly good reasons for choosing Geringhoff.

Always ready and perfectly tensioned

• The gathering chains are tensioned automatically. The gathering chain can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the Geringhoff special tool. As the chain tensioner is tuned to the patented sprocket, the driveline is protected from blockages caused by debris and gearbox failures are avoided. Geringhoff is the only manufacturer to offer automatic tensioning for the gathering chains.

Customized down to every detail

• Each field has its specific characteristics and challenges. Our goal is to rise to these challenges and provide you with a head that results in maximum yields from your crop. Upgrade your corn head with our range of additional options and accessories.

Automatic Steering System

• The automatic steering system supports the driver during harvesting and keeps the combine harvester and header fully automatically in the corn row if supported by the combine harvester. This ensures optimum results when using the Geringhoff corn header.

Automatic Height Control

• The ground sensors ensure your Geringhoff corn head - if supported by the combine harvester - automatically follows the ground contours. By optimizing head height according to the relevant terrain, the ground sensors protect the head from damage while saving wear and tear on the row unit assemblies to provide a long corn head service life. The ground sensors are fully automatic, helping to reduce operator strain and minimizing potential errors during harvest.

Stubble Breaker

• The stubble-breaker help bend down the sharp-edged corn stubble to avoid tire or track damage. Additionally, they support the weight of your Geringhoff corn head to prevent the chopper assemblies from contacting the ground.

Down Corn Auger

• The optional down corn auger makes harvesting down crops even easier. The hydraulically driven conveyor auger located on the outside bodies (left-hand, right-hand, or double-sided design) of your Geringhoff corn head prevents cobs from being slung out of the corn head. It also keeps corn plants from accumulating on the outer bodies.

Manual Gearbox

• The manual gearbox makes your Geringhoff corn head even more versatile. As an option, you may select a two-speed or four-speed selector for your standard gearbox. This provides your Geringhoff head with a variety of shiftable speeds to suit various harvesting situations. Enhanced versatility and the optional sunflower kit open new doors in terms of application flexibility for your harvest.

Sunflower Kit

• As an alternative, Geringhoff corn heads may be fitted with an active(left) or passive(right) sunflower harvest system. Field characteristics and crop maturity levels will determine which system is recommendable.
