Pixall Corn Harvester

The tractor-drawn, one-row CP100 Pixall Corn Harvester gently harvests sweet corn at a rate up to 600 dozen ears per hour. The machine grips the stalks at the top by rubber belts, severs them near the ground, and draws them into the picking head where the ears are pulled off by two hydraulic-driven rollers, then dropped onto a soft-rubber conveyor for side or rear deposit into a harvest wagon. The totally mechanical process results in ears that are virtually damage-free and with all the outer flag leaves in tact down to the end of the shank.
