Dual Roll Adapter with Floating Top Roll to fit Claas® (507 Machines)

The K00507 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 it provides a product that reduces the amount of roughage that needs to be fed compared to a corn-based ration. This dual roll adapter is highly recommended for operations exceeding 300 acres of earlage, providing consistent performance and durability.

These adapters are known for their robustness, with many customers experiencing over 10 years of use. Typically, replacement occurs when a customer trades brands or upgrades their harvester.

This adapter is specifically made for Claas® 507 series self-propelled forage harvesters. It facilitates the connection between the harvester and a row-crop header, making the transition from silage harvesting to earlage harvesting simple. Installation is the same as hooking up any other implement, and the adapter can be left on the harvester or corn head when not in use. When left on the corn head, lift the adapter/corn head and hook up the PTOs.

WARNING: Grinding earlage with the use of corn heads and choppers can cause a risk of fire.  The risk of fire does not emanate from the adapter products described here, but can be caused by the heat generated by the choppers.  To reduce the risk of fire, please keep the chopper clear of dust.
