Save Yield on Down Corn

Our corn reels feature an easy on, easy off design. We combine the ease of assembly with our clamp-on mounting brackets (for most models) with the simple but effective hex drive system. This allows the corn reel to be installed by one person. This corn reel is all steel and the fingers can be adjusted to match the needs of the field and the preference of the operator. We have provided farmers with corn reels for over 15 years.

What is a down corn reel, and what are the benefits of using one?

A down corn reel is a piece of equipment that can be attached to a combine harvester to assist in the harvesting of corn that has fallen over or “lodged.” The use of a down corn reel can offer several benefits to farmers, especially when dealing with fields where a significant portion of the corn has been knocked down due to weather events, pests, or other factors.

Here are some reasons why you should consider using a down corn reel:

Increased Harvest Efficiency

A down corn reel helps pick up fallen corn stalks and feeds them into the combine more effectively. This can significantly increase the amount of corn harvested from a field, especially when a large portion of the crop is down.

Reduced Crop Loss

Without a down corn reel, fallen corn can be missed by the combine, leading to crop loss. By using a reel, farmers can ensure that they are harvesting as much of their crop as possible.

Time Savings

Harvesting down corn without a reel can be time-consuming, as operators may need to drive the combine slower or make multiple passes over the same area. A down corn reel can speed up the harvesting process, saving valuable time during the tight harvest window.

Reduced Soil Compaction

Making multiple passes over the same area not only consumes more time but can also lead to soil compaction, which can affect future crops. By efficiently harvesting down corn in a single pass, farmers can reduce the risk of soil compaction.

Cost Savings

While there is an initial investment in purchasing a down corn reel, the potential increase in yield and reduction in crop loss can lead to significant cost savings in the long run.

Hydraulic Corn Reel

Hydraulic corn reels are essential agricultural attachments designed to enhance the efficiency of corn harvesting equipment. The primary function of a hydraulic corn reel is to assist in the smooth and efficient gathering of corn crops during harvesting. These reels are particularly useful in situations where corn may be lodged or tangled due to adverse weather conditions or uneven crop growth.
