2024 Honey Bee Rice Belt Header SPR21

Rugged, ground-hugging header for rice

Few crops are as difficult to harvest as rice. It is tough, abrasive, and yields run high. In addition, you’re often harvesting in extremely wet ground conditions. These challenges lead to tough combining with conventional equipment.

The Honey Bee Rice Belt header speeds up harvest with features that allow it to hug the ground for faster, easier harvesting, eliminating the twisting and tangling problems associated with conventional auger headers. Using a proven draper-and-auger feeding system, the Honey Bee Rice Belt Header uniformly feeds the crop heads first, providing consistent harvest speeds, superior threshing and better harvest efficiency.

Features may include:

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.
Double Reel Drive
  • The hydraulically driven reel is easily controlled using standard in-cab controls allowing for quick reel adjustment in changing crop conditions.
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.
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.
UHMW Skid plates
  • UHMW skid plates are standard on all models to protect the cutterbar when cutting crops close to the ground.
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.
