Combine Face the Field Head On: 8 Ways to Improve Your Combine Platform


We’ve put together a list of 8 ways that farmers can improve combine platform performance and face any challenging field conditions head on.

Feederhouse Drum Stop Height Adjustment Kit

The kit allows for a simple change of the combine’s front feederhouse drum height. The operator can easily detach the retaining pin and place the left and right hand levers to the proper place for small grain and corn. The best part is, there is absolutely no need for tools in this quick and stress-free process.

High-Torque Variable-Speed Feederhouse Drive

Harvesting at faster ground speeds can help reach higher volumes, which can be done by reaching the higher-capacity drive power needed. While the standard variable feederhouse drive brought great innovation to the field, the high-torque variable speed feederhouse drive incorporates heavier belts, larger gears, shafts and bearings to boost combine platform performance.

High-Wear Rifled Threshing Elements

These high-wear rifles threshing elements feature a special Gopalite coating to protect against wear and tear on the machine. Being 25 percent harder than chrome, these elements are perfect for rough crop conditions like rice and other difficult to thresh

Two Speed 4WD Conversion Kit

Imagine being able to go from a two-wheel drive to a two speed, four-wheel drive system? This alteration kit allows operators to easily change back and forth from two rear wheel torque choices to provide a more versatile experience on the field.

Severe-Duty Water Fuel Separator

This combine platform attachment will help delay service intervals while protecting the fuel system from any possible harm. This could be greatly beneficial when operating in regions where fuel quality is a main concern.

AutoTrac RowSense Universal Kit

This universal kit works on almost any combine platform to help farmers and operators take their corn harvesting ability to a higher level. By combining GPS information from the StarFire system with findings from the universal AutoTrac row sensor, great productivity can be achieved while diminishing operator fatigue.
