12-Row Header Adapter to fit John Deere® (6000 & 7000 Series)

The K00085 adapter implements a wider throat opening and recessed floor for improved feeding into the chopper feed rolls, resulting in higher chopping speeds. This adapter is for 12-row heads and has a black gearbox.

This adapter goes on the front of a John Deere® 6000 and 7000 series self-propelled forage harvester to facilitate the connection between the harvester and a crop row header. Installation is the same as hooking up any other implement, you can leave the adapter on the harvester or corn head when not in use. When leaving on the corn head, it's simply picking up the adapter/corn head and hooking up PTOs.

The K00085 adapter is used for harvesting just the ears of corn using the row crop header to make earlage. Earlage is harvested later than silage, giving the producer a longer working window and providing a product that reduces the amount of roughage that needs to be fed as compared to a corn-based ration. These adapters are very robust, many customers have 10 plus years of use from theirs. Replacement typically occurs when a customer trade brands or upgrades their harvester.
