Small Corn Harvester: Functions and Features

The small corn harvester is an efficient and versatile piece of agricultural machinery designed for small to medium-sized farms. This harvester is ideal for hilly and mountainous terrains where larger harvesters cannot operate. Below is an expanded overview of its functions, features, and technical specifications.

Functions and Features

Dual Functionality: The harvester combines corn harvesting and corn straw crushing, providing a comprehensive solution for farmers. This dual functionality not only simplifies the harvesting process but also helps in managing the corn residue efficiently.

Integrated Hopper: Equipped with a hopper for collecting corn ears, the harvester ensures that the harvested corn is securely gathered and easily transported for further processing.

Adjustable Stubble Height: The machine allows for adjustable stubble height, enabling farmers to set the desired height for cutting the corn stalks. This feature ensures optimal harvesting based on the specific crop and field conditions.

Safety and Maneuverability: The tension clutch ensures safe operation, while the small turning radius enhances the harvester’s flexibility. This makes it easier to navigate and switch directions in tight spaces, significantly improving the overall harvesting efficiency.

Effective Ear Height Harvesting: The harvester can efficiently handle corn plants with ears positioned more than 60 cm above the ground. This capability makes it suitable for various corn varieties and growth stages.

High Peeling Rate: The higher the corn straw, the higher the peeling rate achieved by the harvester. This ensures a cleaner and more efficient harvest, reducing the need for additional processing steps.

Compact and Adaptable Design: The small and adaptable design allows the harvester to be used in sporadic plots and areas inaccessible to larger machines. Its suitability for hilly and mountainous regions makes it an excellent choice for diverse farming environments.

Ease of Operation and Maintenance: The machine is designed for easy operation, installation, and disassembly. This user-friendly design reduces downtime and maintenance efforts, allowing farmers to focus more on their core activities.
