The SUNSPEED sunflower cutterbar is the optimal solution for sunflower harvesting. The unique functional principle enables a significant reduction in both the load on the threshing system and the degree of cleaning required to remove non-grain constituents.
Its high degree of versatility with regard to different row widths and stalk thicknesses makes the SUNSPEED the universal front attachment for sunflowers.

Functional principle.
Once the sunflowers are collected by the shuttles, the adjustable guide plate ensures that the flower heads are pushed forwards. At the same time, the snapping roller below the knife bar pushes the stalks downwards. In this way, the guide plate and snapping roller prevent the stalks from being cut too soon. The cut is not performed until the sunflower heads are captured by the reel. As a result, only the flower heads reach the intake auger which finally delivers them to the feeder housing.
This unique functional principle makes for:
- Lower fuel consumption
- Increased threshing and cleaning performance
- Low wear of all components
