Combines Hugger Cornhead Flutes

[Mn_Dean]

No I do not but I am seriously considering them for next year. They are chromed. I was hopeing they would reduce the trash through the combine. Agco dealer wanted over 1200$ per row. That seemed a bit steep. I checked with Oxbo and they are not any where near that high. My head is around a 93'. I put on spirals last year. the chains and sprockets need to be replaced now and the flutes could go another year.

I called Oxbo. Guy I talked to said he wasn't sure but thought the only way to get them was thru AGCO. He said, they are going to talk with AGCO in the next month or so and try to get a marketing agreement with them as to whether they can sell direct or not. My AGCO dealer says they list for $1243.00. Sure would be nice to be chromed. I have a couple rows of blades chromed. They are wearing nice compared to steel. Would be great to have the spirals chromed too as they seem to need to be replaced often. You ever seen a picture for the Gleaner version of the knife rollsIJ Wonder what the spiral area looks likeIJ Hope it will perform as aggresssive as a new Gleaner spiral.

How do the Pixalls mount on the row unitIJ The pics on their wesite are vague. $1200 per row is a load. For that kind of cash they better run a couple thousand acres per row.

Never asked should have. I assume they just designed a one piece unit that matches the bolt hole and pin pattern that Gleaner has for the blades and spirals. Yes $1200 is a load. If they have good quality chrome I bet they would last a long time. Green neighbor has had a set of Pixalls forever. Brian
