The Horizon Elite XL concept
Revolutionary in 1964; Even more powerful today
The Horizon Elite XL concept relies on the proven design of the North Star models: Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion. The integrated horizontal chopper requires a low amount of drive power to shred the gathered corn straw for faster rotting, virtually eliminating the need for mulching or follow-up chopping.
The optimized position of the horizontal chopper ensures the Horizon Elite XL models produce a uniformly short stubble even in varying row spacings or when the combine is driven at an angle to the plant rows. The system is suitable for all crops even when infested with weeds or grass, and handles mature, tough plants with ease.

Gathering system
A unique gathering chain idea
Gathering Chains
Always ready and perfectly tensioned
The gathering chains are tensioned automatically. The gathering chain can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the Geringhoff special tool. As the chain tensioner is tuned to the patented sprocket, the driveline is protected from blockages caused by debris and gearbox failures are avoided. Geringhoff is the only manufacturer to offer automatic tensioning for the gathering chains.
Available in Most Major Combine Colors
A Head for Every Combine
Geringhoff corn heads are available in most major combine colors at no additional cost. Whether you're matching your combine or picking your favorite color, you have the choice. Or increase your resale value and accent any combine with the Geringhoff-exclusive Midnight Harvest® head color.
Standard Feature
Down Corn Auger
The down corn auger makes harvesting down crops even easier. The hydraulically driven conveyor auger located on the outside bodies (left-hand, right-hand, or double-sided design) of your Geringhoff corn head prevents cobs from being slung toward the edge of the crop. It also keeps crop residues from accumulating on the outer bodies.
