I really think that with this design, Geringhood has the biggest potential to make the worlds best 50 and 60 ft flex heads. Imagine a 60 ft version of this, with integrated air, on a Claas 8900, in heavy wheat or good soybeans.

love your vids. I Farm in ne indiana we have 2 8240.s and a 7240 all running 45' macdons. I cant believe they can run that fast. we had 1600 acres of wheat this year and could only run 3mph at the fastest. all three machines had enough power but rotor loss would climb anything above that.

Never ran a combine but want to know this...seeing how much the razor flexes and how constant how much does a normal draper loose in the same field and circumstances? Or is it just a better cut? Basically is it necessary or not? Can a standard draper not get that close to the ground? Sorry for the questions but watch the channel everyday and this is a new concept for me.

+Adam Smith other drapers do not flex like these. Depending on what type of header is ordered they can be made to be less ridged to flex to a degree but all other makes are just a One section bar. Geringhoff's three sections let the head really flex. It is a new design. Time will tell how the industry and customers react.

We have ran those same heads for wheat and soybeans this year. We have harvested 4000 acres of soybeans so far . They will pick up stones but it's about the same as runing a normal head . They cut like a dream and perform well on tough beans after dark . We were very concerned about stones but the heads are the best .

@bigtractorpower

+Anthony Sommerville the plan is to film these headers in beans. This field that the headers were cutting was planted in soybeans a few hours later. From what I gather from talking to the farmers who own these heads and other farmers who run MacDons is the MacDon is the best at running the reel fingers close to the ground and cutter bar with out breaking fingers compared to a JD or CNH draper. The Geringhoff was excellent so far for the farm in this video for flexing over rolling ground and cutting down wheat. Time will tell how the headers do.

Yes, the farmer did hit a rock, but Geringhoff was able to overnight parts and get the head repaired within a few days. The farmer was able to finish harvesting his crop with this head. Our heads are built on components, so in the event that a section get damaged, they are easily replaceable.

We do the same exact thing here and with the price of wheat you can barely make any money. Our growers here have to make at least 90-100 bu and sell the straw to turn a profit. Plus they're getting cover crop payments and still it's hard to make money. Soybeans are planted right behind. With this year's bad corn crop across the US, some guys have even been adventurous and have planted corn behind barley.
