Gear drive
The drive consists of two different gears on each
side. The bevel gears have different transmission
ratios, with which the corn picker can be adapted to
any type of combine harvester.
The boxes are connected via a cardan shaft.
Before starting up, check the pivoting
range and power take-off length. Ensure
sufficient overlap.

Internal drive
It reduces the use of the combine's self-leveling
system, but allows the operator to fold the corn
head without stepping off the combine to discon-
nect the propshaft.
