The New John Deere 612 12 Row Folding Corn Head

Aug 27, 2015

Todd Verheecke, Senior Marketing Representative at John Deere Havester Works, tells us about the efficiences and ease of the John Deere 12 row folding corn head.



 

John Deere is expanding its lineup of 600C Series Corn Heads. For the first time, the company is offering a folding 12-row corn head (612FC model). The 612FC can provide productivity of up to 30 acres more per day versus harvesting with a traditional eight row corn head and six more acres per day versus a traditional 12-row while reducing operating costs by 15 percent. And John Deere is equipping all 600C corn heads with an improved row unit slip clutch and drive shaft interface for longer life when harvesting today's more robust hybrids.
