Can you put a corn head on a John Deere 30 pull combine and what head would it use?

No corn head fits a JD 30.

Thanks what pull type combine used a corn head?

I think you could get a cornhead for just about any combine that was a pulltype version of a selfpropelled. RE 42 (pulltype 40) etc. I think there were pulltype versions of the 45, 55. Not sure about the 95 and 105. 6601 is the equilivant of the 6600, in that era if the last number is a 1 instead of a 0 it is a pulltype.

Now if you are wanting a combine the size of the JD 30 but with a corn head you will have to look for a Massey Harris 35 or Super 35 as they were the only 7 foot self propelled that took a corn head. They were also made in a pull type version. and I think but not sure the corn head would also work on the pull type machine. AC did at one time make a couple of corn heads for the 60, 66, 72 and 90 machines, I ran a corn head on a MH 35 for a few years.

There were pull types of the 40,55,95, and 105. they were the 42, the 65, the 96, and the 106. Corn heads were only available for the 42.

There also was no corn head for the 6601.

Corn heads could be fit to the 7701 and 7721.

What was the model John Deere that someone had pics of restored with a corn head was it a later model than the 30 finding one would not be an easy task would take lots of adds and then travel but sure could be fun. Does any ever show up at 50yrs of progress show in Ill.

That was a 42.

Connie,I often wondered if you could take a 96 add a quicktach feederhouse off a 95 then take a 444 cornhead and remove the inside row making it a three row with an offset? I have to many projects and not enough shed space but after seeing a 7720 pulltype with cornhead at Half Century of Progress show the idea entered my mind. The worst part about a 96 or 106 is they take even more shed space than a self propelled. Tom

Here"s my AC 66 with 2 row wide head. AC made only 1150 corn heads, that would fit 312,000 combines: models 60, 66, 72, and 90.

Not very easily... we bought a 96 for that same reason. We never actually tried though. I sold the 96 on this site a few years back.

There are several issues as to why it is difficult. The head lift is one. The lift cylinders on those are not under the feederhouse, but off to the side by the right tire. A bigger issue is the tongue- it doesnt' offer much clearance past the feederhouse. It also doesn't swing, so transport as awkward at best. Tongue length might be an issue- you have to keep the snout back enough from the tractor tire.

Another comment... the 7721 was made to put the corn head on- nothing had to be offset. I think 4 row wide and narrow were made to fit. I guess in theory you could use a 454 row crop head, too, but it would be hard to follow the ground contour as closely as you can with a self propelled with auto header height control.
