Description
When you're running through corn at harvest and hear that telltale grinding or notice stalks not feeding properly, chances are good your gathering chains have stretched out or worn down. These chains are what keep corn stalks moving smoothly into your head, and when they start slipping or jumping teeth, you lose efficiency fast. This replacement chain gets your Hugger head back to pulling corn like it should.
What You're Getting
- Durable CA550 specification chain built to handle the constant flexing and stress of corn harvest
- Quality roller construction that moves smoothly over sprockets without binding or jumping
- Heat-treated components that resist wear from dirt, debris, and moisture during harvest
- Engineered to match the original equipment specifications for proper timing and feed rate
Built for Real Farm Work
This chain is designed for Agco Hugger corn heads from 1989 through current models—the workhorses that have been pulling corn across the Midwest for decades. Whether you're running a smaller 4-row head on variable ground or pushing a wide head through high-yielding fields, these gathering chains handle the abuse that comes with harvest season.
Made to Last
Corn harvest is hard on equipment, and gathering chains take some of the worst punishment. This chain uses quality steel rollers and pins that stand up to the dirt, stalks, and constant movement of harvest work. The CA550 specification means it's built to professional standards that keep working when cheaper chains give up.
Installation Notes
When replacing gathering chains, it's a good idea to check your sprockets for wear and clean out any built-up debris from the chain housing. Proper tension is critical—too loose and the chain jumps teeth, too tight and it binds up or breaks prematurely.
