2019 Honey Bee AirFLEX AF240

Farming low-podded crops?

The next generation of draper header innovation has arrived and it brings the design and speed you’ve always deserved.

The future of flex headers features sensors and air suspension that allow the header to shave the ground, picking up more of your peas, lentils and soybeans. The AirFLEX is lightweight yet durable, sophisticated yet easy to use. Switch from flex to rigid mode with the push of a button, allowing you to harvest other crops like canola. Crafted on the farm, the AirFLEX brings you a combination of thoughtful design, high-performance and simplicity.

The Honey Bee AirFLEX is light weight, fast and built to last.

Features may include:

• The AirFLEX can be used in flex or rigid mode with a simple push of a button in the cab. In rigid mode, the cutterbar is inflexible; the ideal setting for cereals. In flex mode, the AirFLEX shaves the ground and is ideal for soybeans, peas and lentils. The air suspension is light, fast-reacting and infinitely adjustable. The Optimized Header Height System always keeps the header at the perfect height in all terrains and in both cutting modes.

• The AUTOMATIX system is an advanced control panel delivering simple and complete control of the AirFLEX.

• The no-compromise rigid cutterbar is optimized for off-ground cutting. No gauge wheels are required.

• Working with the subframe suspension in rigid mode, gauge wheels achieve a quicker and more accurate header height response.

• 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.

• The draper shield efficiently provides and promotes unrestricted crop flow to the centre deck without power, moving parts or adjustment.

• 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.

• 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.

• The smooth operating knife drive provides powerful cutting action and increased durability, while enabling a lighter and more streamlined crop divider.

• The custom built, fully adjustable reel ranges from gentle to aggressive with unlimited finger spacing options to leave no crop behind.

• 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.

• The new draper tensioning system provides smooth, consistent operation regardless of what crop you’re harvesting.
