Kooima Ag Dual Roll Adapter: Enhancing Earlage Harvesting
September 26, 2024 | Equipment
The Kooima Ag Dual Roll Adapter are an essential tool for farmers looking to optimize their corn harvesting process, particularly when it comes to producing earlage. This innovative equipment allows harvesters to effectively gather just the ears of corn using a row crop header and the same piece of equipment they use to chop silage. By harvesting earlage later than silage, producers benefit from a longer working window and a product that reduces the roughage needed in a corn-based ration.
Why Choose the Kooima Ag Dual Roll Adapter?
The effectiveness of the Kooima Ag Dual Roll Adapter lies in its advanced crop flow system. Featuring an additional intake roller at the bottom, this design enhances crop movement and efficiency. Combined with the standard top intake roller, these adapters are perfectly suited for today's high-horsepower harvesters and larger corn heads, ensuring optimal performance during the harvesting process.
What is the durability and longevity of the Dual Roll adapter?
One of the standout features of the Kooima Ag Dual Roll Adapter is their longevity. Many users report a lifespan of over 10 years with regular use. Typically, replacement occurs only when upgrading equipment or changing brands, making these adapters a wise long-term investment.
