Pickup Headers – Efficiency and Precision in Crop Harvesting
Our company, LUPUS, offers high-quality pickup headers for grain combines such as Claas, New Holland, John Deere, Deutz Fahr, and Case. Available machine widths of 3.4 m and 4.3 m let you choose the perfect fit for your farm’s needs.
How Does a Pickup Header Work?
A pickup header is a specialized combine attachment that ensures efficient and precise collection of crops previously cut and laid in swaths. Its job is to gently lift the swath with flexible fingers and feed it into the combine’s threshing system.
This method works especially well in a two-step harvesting process, which involves:
- Cutting the crops and letting them dry naturally in the field.
- Picking them up and threshing them with a combine equipped with a pickup header.
Benefits of Using a Pickup Headers.
- Less Grain Loss – Flexible fingers lift the swath gently, reducing crop loss, which is key for harvesting canola, grass seeds, and other crops that shed easily.
- Better Crop Quality – The pickup header allows natural drying, eliminating the need for chemical drying agents. This is an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
- Higher Work Efficiency – With speeds up to 15 km/h, it speeds up harvesting, crucial during the busy season.
- Fuel Savings – No cutting mechanism means lower fuel use and less strain on the combine’s engine.
- Versatility – Universal adapters make it quick to fit the pickup header to various combine brands: Claas, New Holland, John Deere, Case, and Deutz Fahr.
Modern Technology in Pickup Headers
- Springy, Closely Spaced Pickup Fingers – They lift the swath effectively, leaving no crop behind.
- Conveyor Belt – Smoothly moves material to the feeding auger, preventing clogs.
- Protective Apron – Stops seeds from falling back onto the field, maximizing crop use.
- Hydraulic Drive System – Allows precise belt speed adjustments based on field conditions.
Two belt speed control systems:
- Mechanical Variator – Used in older combine models (Claas Dominator, Tucano 320/420), it offers smooth adjustment by shifting cone-shaped drive discs.
- Hydraulic Control – A modern solution in combines like Claas Tucano 450/570, Lexion, John Deere S, and New Holland CR, providing instant response to load and condition changes.
