Honey Bee AirFLEX Series
Features
- Easy to Operate
The AUTOMATIX push-button system is an advanced control panel delivering simple and complete control of the AirFLEX, including real-time monitoring of all systems.
- High Performance Rigid Mode
The no-compromise rigid cutterbar is optimized for off-ground cutting. No gauge wheels are required. - Transport System
The AirFLEX 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. - Honey Bee Draper Shield
The draper shield efficiently provides and promotes unrestricted crop flow to the centre deck without power, moving parts or adjustment. - Cross Auger
A hydraulic cross auger is available to assist in material flow from the drapers to the feed auger. It replaces the draper shield and adjusts for bulky and tangled crops like peas and mustard. - Speed
The AirFLEX allows greater precision at higher speeds. You’ll pick up the entire crop while covering more acres at a pace that will surprise you. - 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 remove plugged crops directly from the cab of your combine. 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.
