Put better-quality grain in the bin
Better grain quality begins with a
Maximizer Combine’s extra-wide,
extra-long feeder house. It delivers a
thin, uniform crop mat... cuts down on
slug feeding and grain damage.
The big, 26-inch, slow-turning cylinder
threshes grain immediately as it enters the
cylinder/concave area. The long-wrap
concave provides quick separation, so
there’s less chance for repeated rasp bar
impact... more opportunity for whole,
undamaged grain.
