John Deere Cornhead High Slope Cover Paddle Chain Attachment

The High Slope Covers are an innovative design enhancement for CF and CR corn headers. They feature an increased slope angle on the deck covers, specifically engineered to handle challenging fluffing conditions during corn harvesting

  • Improved crop flow: The steeper slope prevents residue and husks from accumulating on the deck, ensuring smooth material movement toward the auger.
  • Reduced blockages: Minimizes downtime caused by crop buildup in high-residue or fluffy corn conditions.
  • Enhanced productivity: Maintains consistent feeding, allowing operators to harvest at optimal speeds without interruptions.
  • Lower cleaning effort: Less material retention on covers means reduced time for cleaning and maintenance.

• Smoother crop feeding: Helps guide plants cleanly into the row unit, reducing bunching and hesitation at the header, ultimately reducing grain loss.

• Less plugging, less downtime: Improved crop separation lowers the chance of stoppages in fluffy, lodged, or high-yield corn.

In fluffing conditions, traditional designs can lead to crop accumulation, feeding issues, and accelerated wear on critical components. The combination of High Slope Covers and Chain Paddles solves these challenges by improving residue shedding, actively moving crop, and protecting the row unit chain for longer service life.
