Perma-Glide points and deck covers
600C Series Corn Heads row unit points and covers are constructed with a tough, durable, solid polyethylene material known as Perma-Glide.
Customer Value:
- Surfaces will not rust and resist dents providing maintenance free operation.
- Reinforcement ribs for greater strength and reliability to ensure maximum up time.
- Smooth surface and very low coefficient of friction provides easier feeding of crop and material into the header, especially in down crop conditions maximizing performance.
Theory of Operation:
The Perma-Glide points and deck covers can be quickly and easily raised for access to each row-unit. No tools are required.
Row-unit point
Outside gathering chains and sprockets
Simply raise the row-unit point, and the spring-loaded pull pin will automatically latch. To raise the deck cover, just pull the slam latch deck cover lever and lift the entire point and cover straight up and out of the way. All inner points and deck covers incorporate a gas strut lift-assist cylinder that reduces the lifting force and maintains the point and deck covers in the upright position eliminating the holding rod.
In order to access the outside gathering chains and sprockets, simply raise the row-unit point (like the inside row-unit points), pull the spring-loaded pin located at the back of the unit, and tip the cover outward.
Outside gathering chains and sprockets
Perma-Glide points are easy to adjust and level. Simply pull out on the spring-loaded pin and adjust the height to one of four predetermined positions. No tools are required and no time-consuming height adjustment bolt or chain is used.
The gathering sheet extensions are integrated into the outer gathering shields. In order to extend the gathering sheet, simply raise the extension. The spring-loaded button will snap into place, securing the gathering sheet in the upright position for specific conditions where extended gathering shields are needed.
To lower the extension, push in on the spring-loaded button and lower the gathering sheet into the storage position.
Ear-saver shields
Ear-saver shields are integrated into the row-unit deck shields. The ear gates, as they are referred to, prevent ears of corn from falling out from the front of each row-unit.
