Features: Troy Mayes a farmer at Pierson, MB and Ron Wheeler from Flexxifinger of Assiniboia, SK. The Flexxifinger Corn Pan is a lifter attachment that fits onto a conventional combine grain header. It then allows the farmer to easily combine corn with that same header without having to invest in a conventional corn header. Each pan measures 9 inches wide and about 32 inches long and is spaced 3 to 6 inches apart to nicely divide the corn stocks as they feed into the header.

I respect that farmer for not lying about his yield that ticks me off when a guy says he gets more then he is

Maybe he is only getting 90 bpa

That's actually quite a neat idea.

one issue I can see is if your ears are low to the ground it will not work as well but in good standing corn with the ears higher no issues

This would be an ideal setup for our popcorn crop! A regular corn head has to have all of the stripper plates readjusted and there’s still head loss due to the small diameter of the ears.

Looks just like the adapters that are made to harvest sunflowers .

Is there a specific reason why he is cutting at an angle vs cutting along rows like normal corn headers do? Would you loose more cobs that way?

If you had more than one combine but only had 1 corn head these might be great if you got behind. A new combine today could deal with the extra material I think.

I just seen this today at the Farm Science Review. It's pretty interesting and probably works well in lighter corn. I don't know how well it would work in 200 bushel corn just because of the amount of crop material coming into the combine that is usually pulled through the corn head.

There is a video floating around and is attached below for 250 bushel per acre. However, the speed of the combine is 2.0~2.1 MPH. That translates to about 1/2 of a similar corn header combine at same yield. Edit: the slower speed is likely due to the crop material being pulled through. I would wonder about the wear and tear of corn fodder passing through such a combine.

@@Commissar0617 40' for both. Processing all the plant material slows it down. Which is about 2,000 bushel less per hour. Which would depend on the individual farmer's needs, imo.

I,m missing some thing here, others are too, Corn header for shearing stocks, Correct yes, no ??? Thresher for wheat, grass seed, etc. Why in the world would you use a thresher on corn???? hello, anyone paying attention out there???

WARREN CORCORAN apparently you're the one not paying attention it literally says in the beginning of the video why he's using that header!

Hi Dean, you are right, sort of, I cant hear well, I have hearing loss/ impairment, I watched the video over again, and listened intently, I understand now, heard every word,, great, very informative video,, thanks dean for bringing it to my attention,, I love agriculture, all of its applications,, learning new things,,

It’d be great for switching between soybeans or milo back to corn, except the concaves of course

I believe if you have down corn they said you can mount their crop lifters on the front of the pan. Snaps in. That’s what they told me anyways.

That's a good idea for farmers just wanting to get their feet wet. We could have used this on our swather when making sorghum hay.

140 bu is a good yield depending on what you have put into it. If you put down bare minimum N, lower seed rate and one pass of roundup...140 is good. If you put 400 lbs down, 34k seed rate and 3 passes of Roundup...you better get the rains...and hope for 220+.
