Default Cornrower at Louisville

The first farm show display of a Cornrower will be at the 2012 National Farm Machinery Show. You can see video of this unit at www.newhollandrochester.com. I built and patented the device to solve the problem of dirt in corn stover and reduce costs. I'll be working the show and have a row unit on display. New Holland is giving me space on their lot. The Cornrower earned an AE50 award from the American Society of Agricutlural and Biological Engineers. It will be presented at their meeting in Louisville on Tuesday Feb. 14. If you want to know about the new way to harvest corn stover, come and visit with me at the show.

Now I have to ask, is this something that can be applied to older heads, or is it just for new heads. Is it something that can also be removed for normal chopping corn head purposes? If its only for new heads, that will help new sales, but lower the amount of buyers this less returns. And if apllicable is it only for cnh, for similar platefore or would this be something you could put on all cornheads, I am sure and hope for you that you cash in which ever way will make you the most money.

Default Cornrower Application

The Cornrower should fit right onto any 99C head or CIH chopping header. It can be bolted on and taken back off and I have a provision to put the chopped stover back on the field without removing the Cornrower units. That way a farmer can windrow a field, move into the next field and just 'chop and drop'. No tools required. I've attached two photos of the chopping units as they appear on a head to help understanding of what this system is.
