Overview

Rugged, Ground-hugging Header for Rice

The Honey Bee Rice Belt Header speeds harvest with features that allow it to hug the ground for faster, easier harvests eliminating the twisting and tangling problems associated with conventional auger headers. Using drapers and a unique feeding auger, the Honey Bee Rice Belt Header uniformly feeds the crop heads first into the combine providing constant harvest speeds, superior threshing and better harvest efficiency, increasing combine capacity by as much as 20 percent. Plus, it is ruggedly designed to last longer with less down time.

The Rice Belt Header not only ensures proper feeding of rice, but also can be used on any crop from wheat to lupins. When converting from straight-cut to a pick-up header, no combine adjustment is necessary.

Few crops around the world are as difficult to harvest as rice. The stalks are tough, rice is particularly abrasive, and yields can run upwards of 295 bushels per acre. In addition, you’re often harvesting in extremely wet ground conditions. They all add up to tough combining with conventional equipment.

Honey Bee lives to make harvests faster. Starting with an understanding of material flow into a combine, Honey Bee has engineered a better straight-cut header especially for rice. Built on a design that moves the crop smoothly to the feeder housing, the Rice Belt Header defines harvest efficiency with low maintenance features such as an oversized oil cooling reservoir and heavy duty 3/16″ tubular steel header mainframe.

The Rice Belt Header is a rugged, ground-hugging header that is designed to last. Add in Honey Bee’s reputation for well-built, dependable equipment and you’ll have a lot more harvest time on your hands.

features

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Lateral leaf spring float system

The header has excellent floatation and ground-hugging capability. Lateral and vertical leaf spring suspension allows the header to float independently of the combine’s OEM accumulator floatation system. You’ll put more crop through the combine, leave less in the field, and reduce rock damage to your cutting system.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header UHMW Skid plates

UHMW skid plates are standard on all models to protect the cutterbar when cutting crops close to the ground.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Double reel drive

The hydraulically driven reel is easily controlled using standard in-cab controls allowing for quick reel adjustment in changing crop conditions.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Draper speed control

Draper speeds are hydraulically controlled and adjustable. Hydraulic power is split 50% to the side drapers and 50% to the centre deck. Independent control over the drapers gives you the power to move heavy material smoothly and efficiently.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Polyester Drapers

Drapers are made of long-lasting, rubberized polyester with fibreglass-reinforced slats and tie bar connectors. The drapers are standard 42″ (106.7cm ) width.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Draper Drive

The 2 1/2″ (6.4 cm) diameter drive rollers provide traction in heavy crop conditions. Powered from the outside by a hydraulic motor, the drapers move the crop towards the centre deck and feed auger for more uniform feeding.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Draper Tension and Tracking

The canvas can be adjusted for tracking and tightening, which allows even tension on both the front and rear of the rollers. A quick release lever allows for ease of canvas and roller cleaning.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Deck and Feed Auger

Fasten your seat belt. The 68″ (172.7 cm) centre deck combined with the 72″ (182.9 cm) feed auger with retractable fingers smoothly feeds the crop into the feeder housing without twisting or tangling. A hinged door under the centre deck allows easy cleaning of foreign material like rocks and roots that might jam the feeder.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Feed Auger Slip Clutch

A slip clutch on the feed auger disengages to prevent damage caused by foreign material running through the combine.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Independant hydraulic system

A PTO driveline powers a hydraulic pump that is mounted to a step-up gear box that drives the feed auger. The step-up gear box is lubricated with oil supplied from the header hydraulics, which is double filtered to keep the system clean.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Manual Header Tilt

No-wrench tilt adjustment allows you to set the platform at the best angle to perform in all crops — short, tall, bulky or sparse.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header SCH Cutting System

The SCH Easy Cut Cutting System provides smooth, superior cutting. Spring steel guards, with cutting edges on top and bottom, along with alternating, bolted, heat-treated sections, eliminate the need for hold downs. The system keeps dirt and debris from accumulating under the knives for increased performance in severe cutting conditions.

Honey Bee Rice Belt Header Knife Drive

The knife is driven by a 3 5/16″ (8.4 cm) stroke, epicyclic knife drive which ranges from 1,284–1,400 strokes per minute (depending on make of combine), eliminating fore/aft movement. The knife drive is driven by a low maintenance hydraulic drive motor. Optional double knife drive systems are available.
