In recent years, due to its high efficiency and saving time and effort, more and more corn harvesters are used for mechanical harvesting operations. Many farmers like to use corn harvesters and want to buy a corn harvester for corn harvesting operations. However, large corn harvesters are expensive and have a long payback period. So here I will briefly talk about the small corn harvester.
1. Walk-behind corn harvester.
This type of harvester is modified from a hand-held tractor or a mini-tiller.
When harvesting corn, you need to manually follow the harvester and hold the harvester with both hands or one hand to perform farm operations. After corn is harvested, there are corn cobs, which can be harvested by picking the cobs. The kernels cannot be harvested directly, nor can the skin be peeled off. The main function is to reduce the labor intensity of manually breaking corn cobs.
Only one row can be harvested at a time, that is, one ridge. Generally used for corn grown in small plots or slopes.
Shandong produces more harvesters. The technical content of this type of harvester is not very high, and the quality is not bad. It is possible to own 10-20 acres of land for personal use, and the price is around 10,000.
2. Backpack corn harvester.
This type of harvester is modified from a small four-wheel or small-horsepower tractor.
When harvesting corn, you can sit down and harvest the peeled corn cobs. Generally, 2-3 rows of corn can be harvested
Because this type of harvester adopts front-mounted ear picking. The platform is wider than the matched power locomotive and can clear its own path, allowing the harvester to enter the field from any position.
There are many manufacturers producing this type of harvester. You can go to the local agricultural machinery market for consultation. 30-50 acres of land can be used. The general modification price is 20,000-30,000.
3. Modification of tracked rice and wheat harvesters.
Corn harvesting can be carried out by modifying the fully fed crawler rice and wheat harvester.
Mainly, corn harvesting is achieved by modifying the detachment drum of the harvester, replacing relevant parts of the threshing system, and adding corn threshing sets. Generally, 3-4 rows of corn can be harvested, and corn kernels can be harvested.
Agricultural machinery dealers of harvesters can usually be contacted to help with modifications. It can be used for 80-100 acres of land. It is not recommended to modify it with a new crawler machine because the cost is too high. You can consider using a harvester that has been used for a long time for modification. The modification price is 8,000 to 10,000.
