The MAYA Down Corn Difference.
MAYA’s down corn unit’s revolutionary design helps you pull stalks no longer attached to the ground.
Units are available in any standard row size. This unit replaces MAYA’s traditional poly snouts and bonnets and incorporates a gathering chain. Reels will never be needed on our down corn units on your MAYA Corn Head. minimizing grain loss.
BUILT-IN DURABILITY
The down corn unit is mechanically driven by your top gathering chain sprocket that is replaced with a beveled female coupler that the down corn unit fits into with a splined male gearbox shaft. The chain is the same gathering chain that is on the row units. The down corn unit should be greased weekly in its gearboxes.
LATERAL SIDE CHAINS
The lateral side chain is a chain that has metal paddles that help direct corn into your row unit/auger. The lateral side chain spins and is driven off of the back drive which is the same female coupler as the down corn unit. This design replaces a traditional roller cone auger or outside auger that can be found on other corn heads. MAYA’s revolutionary design directs leaning outer row stalks back into the row unit and into the auger trough/row unit.
