Foundation Horizon Thumb 038

Success must be built upon a solid foundation. The Geringhoff Elite XL Series was created upon the form and function of an advanced aircraft. Durability and flow were forged alongside the concepts of lighter weight and superior longevity. The Elite Series offers an exceptionally smooth and quiet running system, despite it's fierce appetite during harvest.

The Elite XL Series also features Geringhoff's exclusive Integrated Crop Flow system; 6 standard features and two optional features that when combined offer the world's finest harvesting experience. With all the Elite XL Series features in place, changing field conditions won't stop you from bringing in your crop on your terms.
Technology Horizon Thumb 039

Stalks are aggressively fed into the Rota Disc and are continuously transported rearward while being pulled down through the stalk destruction system. Durable cutting discs create small pieces uniquely exposed by a 25 degree cut and a vertical slice to the remaining stalk. The effectiveness of this well engineered process is not reduced by an increase in ground speed. The Rota Disc system draws a mere 2.5-3.0 additional horsepower per row to complete the stalk destruction.

This unique design will speed you through harvest and leave a distinctly processed field behind. The stalks will be vertically sliced, shredded and evenly distributed, ready for rapid decomposition. The Rota Disc is recognized as the industry’s most efficient stalk destruction corn header.

Maximize your harvest potential with the outstanding quality and superior performance of the Rota Disc. Experience reduced fuel consumption, reduced downtime and fewer maintenance requirements. Geringhoff owners consistently rank their machines as a major contributor to increased yields as the entire machine is designed to minimize kernel loss and efficiently deliver more cobs to the combine feeder house.

Horsepower Requirements

Horizon Thumb 041


The Rota Disc system requires considerably less horsepower resulting in reduced fuel consumption and substantially less wear on the combine. An increase in harvesting speed does not increase the Rota Disc horsepower demand. Lawn mower style choppers
Horizon Thumb 042 Residue Size

The Rota Disc system consistently processes the majority of stalk remnants to less than 4" in length. Compare this to the lawn mower style choppers that primarily process stalks to only 10" in length or more.
Horizon Thumb 043Finely Chopped Residue

The interior of the stalk is exposed for faster decomposition and quicker decay.
Exploded Stalk Horizon Thumb 044

Notice how the ground stalk looks exploded. This creates conditions for accelerated stalk decomposition and reduced wear on your combine and tractor tires.

Folding
Save time by folding instead of hauling

Gain capacity and save time with a Rota Disc folding corn head. Today's larger class combines demand the capacity that can only be offered by 12, 16, or 18 row headers. The obvious challenges are trying to move down the road with an oversize implement, or the traditional labor and time intensive procedure of dismounting your header from the combine and having it towed when traveling on roadways.

Increase your combine's capacity, save time and make transport safer. Geringhoff offers folding models ranging from four rows to the world's largest 18 row 30" model. With the folding procedure controlled from inside the cab, you'll feel more confident about what's over the next hill or around the next curve while transporting.
Folding Components Horizon Thumb 060

PTO -Both the PTO and auger drives engage with an oversize, spring loaded dog clutch allowing engagement of the drive without slipping or jumping of the drives.  

Poly Fold - An automated folding sequence allows the poly to fold independently on the inside section to further decrease the transport width.

Cab Control - Utilizing existing hydraulic and in cab controls, the entire folding procedure is done from within cab of the combine.
Horizon Thumb 031 Aluminum Gearbox

Powering the Elite XL Series is a maintenance free sealed oil gearbox, which utilizes an internal self adjusting slip clutch to protect all moving parts of the row unit. Designed to be as relentless as the people who use it, these gearboxes are ready for the demanding challenges you send its way. So bring it on.
Drive Hub Horizon Thumb 032
