North Star* Horizon Stover Collect

Working double duty to harvest & windrow

Superior Harvesting & Windrowing

Maximum Effectiveness. Maximum Efficiency.

The North Star* Horizon Stover Collect (North Star* Horizon SC) completes two operations in a single pass — it harvests your crop and gathers the stover from the entire working width into a central swath. Leaving material perfectly positioned for further processing. Select minimum or maximum processing with a simple engagement lever on each row unit.

The Geringhoff Difference

Head of the Class Features

An innovative drive system 1/3

Excellent Performance

Great performance requires an exceptional drive system. Our headers are driven by a reliable crown wheel gearbox we deliberately designed a system that does work without chains and belts to ensure smooth harvesting.

An innovative drive system 2/3

Safe and Reliable

Geringhoff uses Centaflex® couplings to connect the row units. The dampers on the couplings significantly reduce vibration and shock loads on the gearbox that drives the row unit, thereby multiplying its reliability.

An innovative drive system 3/3

Excellent service life

An excellent service life, low maintenance, great flexibility, and compatibility with different combines are truly good reasons for choosing Geringhoff.

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.

Additional Features

Customized down to every detail

Each field has its specific characteristics and challenges. Our goal is to rise to these challenges and provide you with a head that results in maximum yields from your crop. Upgrade your corn head with our range of additional options and accessories.

Standard Feature

End Row Augers

The end row augers 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.

Accessories

Sunflower Kit

As an alternative, Geringhoff corn heads may be fitted with an active or passive sunflower harvest system. Field characteristics and crop maturity levels will determine which system is recommendable.

Accessories

Headsight

Precise header height control over all types of terrain. At the heart of the Headsight header height control system are flexible poly paddles and reliable electronics. Other systems will dig in to the soil and damage the system when in reverse, but not Headsight. It's design is operator friendly and has been used reliably for decades.

Accessories

ICF Sweeper

Using our proven German engineering for Geringhoff heads, the Integrated Crop Flow (ICF) Sweeper helps to substantially increase yield potential in down and extremely dry corn.
