Pick up the crop leave the stalk

Engineered first for sorghum, the SuperCrop® Header now dominates:
Sorghum — whether lodged or standing,
incredible results!
Sunflowers – brush-chain kit + 360 Yield Saver®.
Industrial hemp (grain) — no overhead reel – less fiber wrap & seed loss.
Millet — optional hydraulically controlled chain-speed reduces trash intake.
Popcorn / low-yield corn — adjustable deck plates and quick-change knives increase productivity and reduce loss from butt-shelling.

Fit-up kits are available for all major combine brands and models. A hydraulically adjustable row-unit angle, low-friction poly dividers/snoots, rear-mounted sickle knives, and a full-finger large-diameter auger deliver smooth crop flow while leaving ≥14 inch+ stubble in downed crops.

Increase Efficiency

Hydraulic Row-Unit Angle (First-of-its-Kind!) – Adjust snoot pitch from the cab in seconds to match crop height or flatten for lodged sorghum — keeps ground speed up and virtually eliminates field loss.
Rear-mounted sickle knife – Cutting behind the gathering chains virtually ends head-shatter in sorghum & sunflowers and guarantees a 14+ inch stubble that boosts moisture capture and winter forage.
Full-finger, large-diameter auger – Aggressive fingers span the entire auger to grab both dry leaves and green stems—feeds evenly, prevents slugs, and protects combine concaves.
Low-friction poly dividers & snoots – Smooth, replaceable poly glides under tangled sorghum or hemp and shields leaves so less trash hits the feeder chain—better threshing, cleaner grain.
No overhead reel (hemp) – Eliminates the wrap point in hemp grain harvest, dropping fiber downtime to near-zero and keeping fragile seed heads intact.
Hydraulic chain-speed option (millet) – Dial chains down to a crawl in light millet heads—reduces non-seed material entering the rotor and keeps test weight up.
Adjustable deck plates & 15-min knife swaps (popcorn / low-yield corn) – Adjustable deck plates capture narrow stalks with no stalk roller to cause butt shelling; quick-change knife sections swap with three bolts so operators can move from soft-stem crops to tough corn in minutes.
Ultra-low maintenance – No spinning discs, no reel bearings, and fewer gearboxes than draper or kit conversions—daily grease takes < 5 minutes.
Operating-cost champion – 30 % less load on the combine rotor saves 25-35 % fuel and tests show up to 50 % lower wear-part spend versus draper/platform headers over a three-season span.

#1 Header for Sorghum

With SuperCrop® You Get the Most Grain Out of The Field

  • Harvest down sorghum without any header attachments, no need for a separate down-sorghum solution
  • Handles Green Material Better than Competing Headers
  • Adverse field conditions have a minimum impact on ground speed due to the standard advanced height control package
  • Harvest with the snoots on the ground while still leaving 15” of stalk for foraging, conservation, or other purposes
  • Harvest sorghum faster, with better yields and reduced combine load than other headers on the market
  • Poly row-divider covers help the grain move seamlessly into the auger trough, keeping the heads from building up in the divider area, helping to further increase yield

Sunflower Eater

No Need to Purchase Any Other Sunflower Header

 

  • Shatter is limited due to its propriety cutting and feeding mechanism
  • Green material is harvested as easily as dry conditions
  • Rigid auger allows for consistent feeding while reducing chances of loss
  • Adjustable row-unit angle allows for easy cutting in normal or adverse conditions such as extreme dryness, broken stalks, variable height, etc.

Great Option for Low Yield Corn

Harvest Up To 125 Bushel/Acre Corn Without a Corn Header!

 

  • Adjustable deck plate option will allow a person to harvest smaller ear corn and smaller stalk corn with less loss than a traditional corn-head
  • Excellent option for cellulose reclamation
  • Easy to change sickle-section design allows you to easily move into a more aggressive section for corn, allowing you to get more life out of your knife components

Built Tough for the Challenges of Industrial Hemp.

Low-Cost Maintenance

Maintenance costs on this header are extremely low, with the average cost of less than$1/per acre (based on 12 row header at 3,000 harvested acres of sorghum), which will lead to an overall reduction in product cost.

Adaptability & Versatility

As the nations leader in header adapter manufacturing and distribution, we make sincere efforts to help you avoid being locked into a particular combine manufacturer by allowing a variety of combines to fit or adapt to our headers.

Efficiency

When production costs are a focal point in the minds of today’s producers or harvesters, it’s essential that products purchased aid in the reduction of these production costs. We had this in mind when designing the SuperCrop header.

We Stand Behind Our Products

Bish Enterprises offers its industry leading warranty on every new SuperCrop header sold. Bish Enterprises will provide a parts and labor warranty for the drive system, auger, row units, and electronic components against all manufacturer defects for a term of 12 months.

Easy to Find Parts

Bish Enterprises uses quality components and carries all of the needed parts and supplies forthe header, but this header was designed with both the customers and existing dealers inmind, and most of the components that are used are already available at local dealershipsacross the United States
