Description
The FlexxiFloat™ crop lifter series have a spring-pivot which allows the lifter to follow the fluctuations of the ground, making it ideal for uneven ground conditions.
The FlexxiFloat™ system is available with two rail options: the standard rail and the high-pivot rail. The standard rail is generally used with a rigid header, while the high-pivot rail is used with a flex header, with the exception of a few specific makes and models of header and feeder house combinations.
The FlexxiFloat™ 250 is used on taller, heavier foliage crops. Made of sturdy cast metal, this lifter is capable of standing up to the most challenging ground conditions.
Benefits
Adjustable: The FlexxiFloat™ 250 Crop Lifter has two means for adjustment. The adjustment screw limits the downward travel of the shoe, while the pivot spring self-adjusts to fluctuate with the rises in the ground level.
Universal fit: The FlexxiFloat™ 250 Crop Lifter is compatible with virtually every guard system on the market.
QD™ Compatible: Flexxifinger® uses the same patented QD™ technology on all its lifters, which makes it possible to quickly interchange different Flexxifinger® lifters on the same header without the need for removing the guard bolt each time..
Usage
Crop Type –some pulses, cereals, rice, oilseed, forage, hemp and other specialty crops
Generally, the recommended spacing is one lifter per foot across the header. Harvesting some row or bedded crops, where lifters mounted to the row or a combination of different Flexxifinger® lifters to maximize recovery have proven beneficial.
