HoneyBee - Grain Belt Header
For decades, the Honey Bee Grain Belt Header has defined harvest efficiency. It uniformly feeds the crop heads first, providing consistent harvest speeds, superior threshing and less down time. Using a tried-and-true draper and feed auger system that has become a mainstay for farmers, the Grain Belt Header not only ensures proper feeding of cereal crops, but also dramatically improves feeding of bulky crops like peas and mustard. With low maintenance features including an oversized oil cooling reservoir and heavy duty 3/16″ (0.48 cm) tubular steel header mainframe, the Grain Belt Header is designed to last.
With low maintenance features including 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 our 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 of conventional auger headers that 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.
Knife Drive
The knife is driven by a 3 5/16″ (8.4 cm) stroke, epicyclic knife drive that 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.
Independent Hydraulic System
The 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.
Deck and Feed Auger
Fasten 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.
Adjustable Castoring Gauge Wheels
Adjustment to cutting height is now a breeze — simply pull a pin and push a lever. The Grain Belt Header also has an incredible floatation of eight inches.
Hydraulic Header Tilt
The hydraulic header tilt adjustment is equipped with a ball and socket on both ends, improving header floatation.
Low Profile Cutterbar
The cutterbar height is now the lowest in the industry. In addition, the profile has been changed o reduce the height the crop has to move from the knife to the draper by 50%.
Draper Speed Control
Draper speeds are hydraulically controlled and adjustable. Independent control over the drapers gives you the power to move heavy material smoothly and efficiently.
Crop Divider
The improved crop divider flows seamlessly through the heaviest of crops, reducing crop trampling.
Lateral Leaf Spring Float System
Draper speeds are hydraulically controlled and adjustable. Independent control over the drapers gives you the power to move heavy material smoothly and efficiently.
Draper Tension and Tracking
The canvas can be adjusted for tracking and tightening, which creates even tension on both the front and rear of the rollers. A quick-release lever allows for ease of canvas and roller cleaning.
