Combines Can you change heads from R to an N seriesIJ

I put a 6 row wide N corn head on an R5. Had to change the upper bar and then cut a couple of hole in the bottom. Not much work.

There are two series of N heads and throats. The Early N head and throat take conversion to accept the R heads, the later throat, like on my 82 N6 will pickup and run a brand new head with minor changes. My 82 will not pick up an early N head because of enough differences in hooks and latches. The newer throat has a longer drive belt and is physically longer than the early throat. Hope this helps!

Post an email address or phone number and we can talk about a cornhead for an N6. Thanks Kelly

Yes you can change from R to N heads and N to R heads. I have done it more times than I care to remember. We would have 830's from older heads to newer, black frame heads to huggers for sale. Just let us know what you might want. Thanks, Dave Duffek

I have an 1987 'green stripe' 8-30 that is in great shape I'd let it go for $4500 I am in indiana rdjohnsonfarm@juno.com

This head is set up for a N series combine and is a low height snout head. Earlier heads had a tall hood on the snouts which are not good at higher speed and terrible in down corn.
