New flex draper lets soybean growers cut closer

‘Razor’ unveiled at National Farm Machinery Show

Geringhoff announced a new flex draper for soybean growers at the National Farm Machinery Show today in Louisville, Kentucky.

The new TruFlex Razor promises to deliver razor-precision soybean harvesting with some impressive technological advances.

It’s the first “flex-flex” draper that combines a three-section, flexible frame and segmented reel with a flexible cutter bar.

In development for the last five years, Geringhoff says the product will deliver the closest, most uniform on-the-ground cutting in the industry, even on hilly terrain.

Its center knife drive, center belt drive and integrated airflow system minimize losses and improve performance during harvest.

According to its prepared release, Geringhoff is a global leader in providing innovative harvest equipment. The company is headquartered in Ahlen, Germany, where it was founded in 1880.

Geringhoff North America headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
