HIGHLIGHTS

CHOPPING TECHNOLOGY – State-of-the-art chopping technology places the chopping knives as close to the rollers as possible, allowing for the use of a single, aluminum cast, sealed gear box. Reduces weight, required horsepower and potential wear points while optimizing the residue management.

LONGEVITY – First chopping heads built in 1986 in Europe, quickly becoming the market leader for chopping corn heads. Currently more than 8,000 units in operation in Europe.

QUALITY – Rigorous quality control testing – every row unit is tested to 130% of operating speed, resulting in less than 1 in 1,000 units with defects, each of which is corrected before leaving the factory.

POWER – With shortened row units, single gear boxes, highly efficient stripper plates and roller knives, reduced weight and high-quality engineering and testing, the Capello head merely sips horsepower.

SPEED – High efficiency and low power needs allow the farmer to harvest at higher speeds, maximizing the number of acres covered and keeping the combine full: the way a combine works best.

RESIDUE MANAGEMENT – The roller knives pulverize stalks before the patented chopping system sizes the residue to a uniform, 2 – 4 inch mulch. The vortex created by the chopping knives prevents windrowing and leaves the chopped stalk in its row.

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY - The hoods are man-made polymer material allowing corn to flow easier and significantly reducing weight. Husks and stalks glide without sticking, even in bad weather.

MINIMUM LOSS OF COBS - The new hood fitting absorbs the cob impact and limit cob bounce drastically reducing material loss and husking. Hydraulically adjustable beveled-edge stripper plates pick the cob cleanly and minimize kernel loss.

MAXIMUM DURABILITY/MINIMUM MAINTENANCE– No corrosion or discoloration problems. The weight of the polyethylene hoods is one third that of the metal version and provides for a decidedly higher elasticity and strength. Plus, they fold out of the way for maintenance and storage.

DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS – Available in sizes from 4 to 18 rows, 20 to 38 inch row spacings, chopping or non-chopping, folding or rigid….plus available optional equipment. The Capello head is configurable to the needs of the farmer and can handle any conditions. An exclusive adjusting system allows you to set the hoods in as many as 6 different working positions, teamed with the available automatic header height controller, there’s nothing it can’t handle.
