In recent years, due to the growing demand for corn harvesting efficiency, more and more Chinese farmers use harvesters for corn harvesting operations. Many farmers want to buy a corn harvester for corn harvesting operations, but large corn harvesters are expensive and have a long payback period. So here I will briefly talk about the situation of the mainstream small corn harvesters in China.
1. Walk-behind corn harvester.
This type of corn harvesting machine is modified from a walk-behind tractor or tiller.
When harvesting corn, it is necessary to manually follow the harvester, and hold the harvester with both hands or one hand for farm work. After the corn is harvested, the corn on the cob can be harvested. The grains cannot be directly harvested, and the skins cannot be peeled off. The main function is to reduce the labor intensity of manually breaking the corn cobs.
Only one row can be harvested at a time, that is, one row can be harvested. It is generally used for corn grown on small plots or sloping fields.
2. Knapsack corn harvester.
This type of harvester is modified with a small four-wheel or low-horsepower tractor.
When harvesting corn, you can sit and operate, and the corn cobs after peeling are also harvested. Generally, 2-3 rows of corn can be harvested.
Because this type of harvester adopts a front-mounted ear-picking table, the width is larger than that of the matched power locomotive, and it can open the road by itself, realizing that the harvester can enter the operation from any position in the field.
3. Modification of crawler rice/wheat harvester.
Corn harvesting can be carried out by modifying the full-feed crawler rice and wheat harvester.
Mainly by modifying the detachment drum of the harvester to harvest corn, replacing the components of the relevant threshing system, and installing corn threshing suits. Generally, 3-4 rows of corn can be harvested, and corn kernels can be harvested.
The 4YZ-1 corn harvester launched by TAGRM is a specially new designed single-row corn combine harvester with ear picking and peeling functions, simple operation and convenient harvesting. It is especially suitable for small farmers with low cost and high efficiency requirements.
