In addition, floatation has been increased to eight inches.Hydraulic FittingsAll Honey Bee headers come equipped with o-ring face seal hydraulic fittings to prevent oil leaks.Low Profile CutterbarThe Honey Bee cutter height is now the lowest in the industry. In addition the profile has been changed to reduce the height the crop has to move from the knife to the draper by 50%.Hydraulic Header TiltNew hydraulic header tilt adjustment equipped with ball and socket on both ends improves header floatation.“Raptor” DrapersThe new “Raptor” drapers are made of heavy duty, longer-lasting, rubberized polyester with fibreglass reinforced slats and tie bar connectors for extended draper life. The ‘v’ guided drapers are a standard 42" (106.7 cm) width.it couldn’t Bee anY Better.Draper Speed ControlDraper speeds are hydraulically controlled and adjustable. The new hydraulic system reduces oil pressure drop and oil temperature. Independent control over the drapers gives you the power to move heavy material smoothly and efficiently.Skid PlatesUHMW skid plates are standard on all models to protect the cutterbar when cutting crops close to the ground. The new low profile clips eliminate dozing.new and imProved features 2012Gear BoxThe redesigned gear box is now lubricated with gear oil (not hydraulic oil), which decreases the overall hydraulic oil system temperature by up to 100º F.Finger Auger GuidesNew ball and socket design is longer-lasting, easier and less expensive to maintain as the wearing part (the ball) can be replaced separately.Reel Height StopsExtremely fine adjustments are now possible through a nut and threaded rod system.Crop DividerImproved crop divider flows seamlessly through the heaviest of crops, reducing crop trampling. Four inches of vertical adjustment gives you maximum flexibility.Drive ShaftsHighest quality, heavy-duty drive shafts give long-lasting trouble free performance.4"our continued commitment to QualitYour success depends on how successfully our equipment performs in the field, which is why we are committed to bringing you the best quality headers, allowing you to harvest faster. Over the past year, we’ve increased knife power and reduced oil temperatures on our headers with improved drive shafts and a revamped hydraulic system. The new “Raptor” series draper provides even longer-lasting performance, and new castoring gauge wheels improve floatation.Honey Bee headers raise the standard for smooth, efficient harvesting. Harvest performance you can count on – that’s our promise to you.Lateral Leaf Spring Float SystemThe header has excellent floatation and ground hugging capability. Lateral and vertical leaf spring suspension allows the header to float independently of the combine’s OEM accumulator floatation system. You’ll put more crop through the combine, leave less in the field, and reduce rock damage to your cutting system.Draper DriveThe 3" (7.6 cm) diameter drive rollers provide traction in heavy crop conditions. Powered from the outside by a hydraulic motor, the drapers move the crop towards the centre for more uniform feeding.Draper Tension and TrackingThe canvas can be adjusted for tracking and tightening, which allows even tension on both the front and rear of the rollers. A quick release lever allows for ease of canvas and roller cleaning.Feed Auger Slip ClutchA slip clutch on the feed auger disengages to prevent damage caused by foreign material running through the combine.tHe Bee is Back.Honey BrothersGreg and Glenn HoneyManual Header TiltNo-wrench tilt adjustment allows you to set the platform at the best angle to perform in all crops — short, tall, bulky or sparse. Deck and Feed AugerFasten your seat belt. The 68" (172.7 cm) centre deck combined with the 72" (182.9 cm) feed auger with retractable fingers smoothly feeds the crop into the feeder housing without twisting or tangling. A hinged door under the centre deck allows easy cleaning of foreign material like rocks and roots that might jam the feeder.Auger Drive/ Gear BoxA PTO driveline powers two hydraulic pumps which are mounted to a gear box that drives the feed auger. The gear box is lubricated with gear oil.Independent Hydraulic SystemThe independent hydraulic system allows you to easily fit the Grain Belt Header to any combine. If you change combines, you can switch the header to the new combine simply by changing the adapter.Fore/Aft Reel AdjustmentA hydraulic adjustment with in-cab control is available for fore/aft positioning for on-the-go response to changing crop conditions with a 16" operating range.Knife DriveThe knife is driven by a 3 5/16" (8.4 cm) stroke, epicyclic knife drive which ranges from 1,284 – 1,400 strokes per minute (depending on make of combine), eliminating fore/aft movement. The knife drive is driven by a low maintenance hydraulic drive motor. Optional double knife drive systems are available. Reel DriveThe hydraulically driven reel is easily controlled using standard in-cab controls. In-cab controls allow for quick reel adjustment in changing crop conditions.QualitY standard featuresSCH Cutting SystemThe SCH Easy Cut Cutting System provides smooth, superior cutting. Spring steel guards with cutting edges on top and bottom, along with alternating, bolted, heat treated sections, eliminate the need for hold downs. The system keeps dirt and debris from accumulating under the knives for increased performance in severe cutting conditions.Dual Wheel Hitch Carrier Allows for easy towing of your combine header behind a pickup truck or combine. Easily transport your header through gates and down narrow roads. Cross AugerHydraulic drive cross augers assist in material flow from the drapers to the feed auger. The auger is adjustable to match varying crop conditions and increases combine capacity in bulky crops like peas and mustard. Augers are ‘size’ specific.Integral Storage TransportThe self contained integral transport including hitch, jack and axle is conveniently stored on the header table. Detachable Storage TransportHitch, jack and axle combination allow header to be stored and transported when not in use.oPtions Honey Bee lives to make harvests faster. Starting with an understanding of material flow into a combine, Honey Bee has engineered a superior straight-cut header. Built on a design that moves the crop smoothly to the feeder housing, the Grain Belt Header defines harvest efficiency. With low maintenance features such as an oversized oil cooling reservoir and heavy duty 3/16" (.48 cm) tubular steel header mainframe, the Grain Belt Header is designed to last. Add in Honey Bee’s reputation for well-built, dependable equipment, and you’ll have a lot more harvest time on your hands.The Honey Bee Grain Belt Header improves combine efficiency by eliminating the twisting and tangling problems associated with conventional auger headers — problems that can result in poor combine performance, higher fuel costs and lower grain quality. Using drapers and a unique feed auger, the Honey Bee Grain Belt Header uniformly feeds the crop heads first into the combine, providing constant harvest speeds, superior threshing and less down time. Depending on the crop, you can increase combine capacity by as much as 20 percent.The Grain Belt Header not only ensures proper feeding of cereal crops, but also dramatically improves feeding of bulky crops like peas and mustard.
