2023 Geringhoff Mais Star Collect

Each corn field has a potential for higher yields. Harvesting corn straw offers considerable benefits to any farmer pursuing a commercially successful business and looking to reduce their environmental impact. For the future there are some vital questions we need to answer: How can you increase your corn yields? How do you unlock the potential of your corn stover? Many times corn straw quality is high enough to enable an efficient way of re-using this valuable resource.

Optimum results are achieved by harvesting the corn and dropping the straw in a windrow. The Mais Star* Collect offers significant advantages over traditional corn harvesting methods. Keep your equipment up to date by making your harvest more efficient and sustainable. Make the most of your field!

Features may include:

Row unit

• The Mais Star* Collect offers the versatility to collect, or not collect stalks based on field or customer preference.

Residue Management

• Classic lawnmower-style swinging blades plus the ability to disengage the chopper.

Harvest Efficiency

• Corn stover acts as a primary biomass source, and its precise collection parameters require the exacting windrow the Mais Star* Collect has the ability to offer.

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.

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.

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.
