Oliver 40 with corn head

MattLF9 · Jun 8, 2020

I saw this on Tractor House, it has to be the only 40 with a corn head anywhere.

I wonder if that's one of those heads that cut the whole plant and ran it through. Oliver did that in the early days. Kinda looks like a forage harvester head.

Yes, it does cut the whole plant and run it through, the head works very similar to the old Gehl chopper heads.

Oooooh! Now that's a gem! Wonder if that aquarium cab is home made or stock. I see the have two 40's there at the auction, I'd be all about it if I didn't already have my irons in the fire of another auction. The only thing that would chase me away from that auction is another Gehl 188 chopper.

In case anyone is wondering I puchurchased this combine and its in iowa now. The head does take the stalk and all in.
