LUPUS SUN STREAM Sunflower Header

Harvesting sunflowers with a standard grain header or corn picker guarantees severe seed shatter and machine blockages. The grain header aggressively shakes the heads, dropping valuable seeds onto the field, while a corn picker drags tons of wet, green stalk mass into the threshing drum. LUPUS SUN STREAM is a row-independent header that resolves this problem by cutting high, feeding exclusively the sunflower heads into the combine. The result is pure grain in the tank, perfectly clean sieves, and a drastic drop in diesel consumption due to an unburdened engine.

Key engineering and agronomic advantages:

Maximized drive simplicity: A single planetary gear eliminates complex chain layouts, drastically reducing the risk of failure and maintenance downtime during the critical harvest window.
Row-independent technology (40-75 cm): Elongated snouts guide the crop passively. You can harvest at any angle without trampling dense plant populations on headlands.
High cut directly under the head: Eliminating the spongy, wet stalk from the cleaning shoe results in lower grain moisture in the tank and prevents the threshing drum from choking.
Schumacher Pro-Drive cutting system: A linear, vibration-free knife stroke prevents seed shatter before the feeder house. Broken knife sections can be replaced in minutes on the field.
Dual blockage protection: A slip clutch on the auger cuts off the drive during overloads, while a ratchet mechanism allows you to eject blockages using the combine’s hydraulic reverser directly from the cab.

Equipment designed for professional practitioners who demand maintenance-free operation and zero downtime.

Why does this header outclass universal solutions?

End the compromises: Standard headers destroy your yield

A standard grain header, even with mounted sunflower pans, aggressively strikes the dry heads with the reel, catapulting seeds onto the soil. A corn picker forces a rigid row spacing, breaking closely sown sunflowers and pulling in useless wet mass. The LUPUS SUN STREAM takes in the material smoothly—extended snouts guide the stalk without shaking, cutting only the head that generates your profit.

Schumacher Pro-Drive: Linear cut without vibrations

Standard wobble boxes tend to tear the stalks and generate vibrations. The SUN STREAM cutting system relies on the proven Schumacher planetary gear. The knife movement is precise and entirely smooth. Zero resonance vibrations mean no shocks that could shake the seeds out of the head before entering the feeder house. Furthermore, if damaged by a stone, you replace the broken knife section in minutes.

Classic mechanics, zero hydraulic failures

We deliberately abandoned failure-prone hydraulic motors. The drive of the working elements (auger, reel) is engineered using heavy-duty mechanics. We utilize reinforced Regina ASA 60HE roller chains and Optibelt V-belts. These components resist extreme stretching under heavy loads, are cost-effective to maintain, and are readily available on the market.

Cutting angle adjustment up to 12°: Effective lodged crop recovery

Sunflowers rarely stand perfectly vertical after heavy storms. Our header allows for a mechanical tilt angle adjustment of up to 12 degrees. This enables an aggressive descent of the snouts close to the soil to cleanly lift and cut lodged or broken plant sections without digging into the dirt.

100% Plug&Play Adapter for your combine

Forget about angle grinders and welding in the barn to mount the machine. You attach the header using a dedicated transition frame manufactured specifically for your combine model (Claas, New Holland, John Deere, Case). No interference with the base machine’s electrical or hydraulic systems. You drive up, lock the pins, connect the provided PTO shaft, and enter the field.

Field experience: Hard facts

Dry, clean sieves: The absence of green stalk mass drastically reduces the risk of blinding the cleaning shoe in the combine.
Noticeably lower diesel consumption: An unburdened threshing drum (which no longer grinds tough stalks) significantly reduces engine load per harvested hectare.
Faster harvest speeds: The high throughput of the row-independent design allows you to maintain a constant working speed of up to 10 km/h without choking the feeder house.

Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Why is a standard grain header a mistake for sunflowers?

It directly strikes the dry, cracking heads with the reel. You shatter seeds onto the field and simultaneously drag tons of wet stalks into the combine, which spikes tank moisture and chokes the engine.

Why shouldn't I use a corn picker?

Corn pickers are heavy, complex, and force a rigid row spacing (usually 70-75 cm). The SUN STREAM is a row-independent system; you enter the field at any angle and harvest without trampling plants on headlands.

How do I connect this header without modifying the combine's electrics?

You receive a 100% mechanical Plug&Play solution. You bolt on the dedicated adapter frame for your combine, lock the header, and connect the PTO shaft provided in the set. Zero hydraulic or electrical modifications.

What happens if I hit a rock and damage the knife?

The Schumacher Pro-Drive system features individually bolted knife sections. You remove the damaged section and bolt on a new one in minutes directly on the field, without dismantling the entire cutter bar.

How is the machine protected against wet mass blockages?

It features an auger slip clutch that disconnects the drive upon heavy resistance. We also integrated a ratchet clutch—you engage the cab reverser, the header clutch locks solid, and the machine simply “spits out” the blockage.

Will this header pick up severely lodged sunflowers?

Yes. It has a mechanical tilt angle adjustment of up to 12 degrees downwards. You drop the snouts just above the soil level and effectively pick up stalks broken right at the base.

Does the high cut really impact the combine's fuel consumption?

Yes, significantly. Because the machine only cuts the heads and leaves the wet stalks in the field, the threshing drum is completely relieved of tough green mass. This prevents sieve blinding and drastically lowers diesel consumption per hectare.
