Innovating for Maximum Durability
Getting tired of downtime in the shop when you should be out harvesting? For 3 generations we felt your pain, it was that pain that drove a dairy farmer to relentless innovation, and Horning Mfg was born. Today we are committed to innovating for maximum durability on every piece of equipment that bears our name.
The desire to increase durability and reduce downtime produced a corn head without a number of the traditional pain points, while other susceptible parts were beefed up to endure the rigors of many harvest seasons. A simple, straightforward design was incorporated to get the job done with the minimum amount of moving parts, resulting in fewer repairs.
Gathering chains were removed eliminating all the headaches that went with them. In their place are carbide-coated circular blades that make for a smooth rotary flow, mowing it down and flowing it through, at pedal to the metal speeds.
Who hasn’t felt the pressure to get the crop in, along with the frustration of downtime as you wait for specialty parts to arrive. We did, that is why we built a corn head with 90% of the drive-train parts readily available at your local hardware/parts store. Experience less frustration and downtime with a Horning 2-row row independent corn head.
It is a fact, running a machine for extended periods of time will wear things out. But you should not have to worry about the way your farm equipment was built or what it was made of. We believe in our product and want you to have that same confidence. That’s why we back it up with a one-year workmanship and materials warranty.
