The Versatility to Decide How You Harvest
When it comes to originals, the Horizon Elite XL is Geringhoff’s classic head. Introduced as the first horizontal chopping corn head on the market over 50 years ago, the Horizon Elite XL became the protégé for other manufacturers, and it will always be known for its innovation and how it changed the harvest game.
Similar to the NorthStar Elite XL, this corn head features low weight design, max performance, and carries Geringhoff’s reputation of low maintenance, high quality equipment.
Grants the Choice Between Chopping and Non-Chopping
Constantly changing field conditions are experienced from year to year for growers across the world. In 2012, Geringhoff introduced the adaptable Elite Series of corn heads, which set new standards for yield retention, harvesting speed, and ability to recover downed or severely tangled crops.

Row Unit
The Horizon XL offers the versatility to chop, or not chop stalks based on field preference, while the aggressive roller design pulls in stalks from any angle.

Residue Management
Classic lawnmower-style swinging blades plus the ability to disengage the chopper.

Harvest Efficiency
The Horizon XL is the right choice for growers who want the ability to choose how each field or crop is processed by a single switch.
In 1964, Geringhoff introduced the world's first horizontal chopping, swinging blade-style corn head to the market. This head became a classic, and led the way for other manufacturers to develop their own take on the classic Geringhoff head. Its ability to offer farmers versatility from crop to crop or field to field with a single switch makes the Horizon Elite XL a powerful choice.
Quietest, smoothest running head in the industry
While many of our customers have moved to the Rota Disc head, for its ability to shred and distributes smaller, more evenly sized residue with lower horsepower requirements, some farmers still like the look and feel of our classic swinging blades head -- the Horizon Elite XL.
