Combines Dummy headIJ

[BenM]

Dummy head usually means a conventional ridgid header with no reel or reel drive, no knife or cutterbar or drives, but simply a pickup--finger, toothed or belt-- for picking up swathed crops. It may have a variable speed belt drive for the pickup, or a fully hydraulically driven pickup. Dummy head also refers to that dead weight above one's shoulders when stupid mistakes are made. Ask me how I know....Ben.

Usually a dummy head is a 13' head with just an auger. (no knife, reel, etc). But if the guy says its for edible beans its probably best described as a pickup head. A pickup header is a dummy head plus a draper pickup (5,6, or 7 rubber 18" belts with rubber fingers)
