Honey Bee AirFLEX SDX Series
Features
- Fully Flexible Cutterbar, Adjustable Air Suspension and Optimized Header Height System
The AirFLEX SDX shaves the ground, picking up even the lowest hanging pods. And it does it at speeds never seen before. The key to cutting so close to the soil is the nine inches of movement that the AirFLEX SDX has across the width of the cutterbar. The Optimized Header Height System always keeps the header at the perfect height in all terrain, and the air suspension is light, fast reacting and infinitely adjustable. - Easy to Operate
The AUTOMATIX push button system is an advanced control panel delivering simple and complete control of the AirFLEX SDX, including real-time monitoring of all systems. - Transport System
The AirFLEX SDX transport wheels are designed to be there when you need them and off for harvest. They’re self-aligning and can be mounted in five minutes. - Fully Synchronized, Centrally Driven Knives
The smooth operating knife drive provides powerful cutting action and increased durability, while enabling a lighter and more streamlined crop divider. - Honey Bee High Performance Reel
The custom built, fully adjustable reel ranges from gentle to aggressive with unlimited finger spacing options to leave no crop behind. - Reversible Mechanical Drive
For maximum convenience and efficiency, you can unplug your combine directly from the cab. The drapers, knife drive and feed auger run reverse with the combine. - High Performance Drapers
The new draper tensioning system provides smooth, consistent operation regardless of what crop you’re harvesting.
