This central divider assembly mounts at the front of a corn header to separate rows of standing crop before the gathering chains engage. It consists of a sheet-metal divider point welded to a support frame that bolts to the header’s main beam. The 750 mm spacing matches the row width of the header it serves. As the machine advances, the divider lifts and guides the stalks into the intake gap, reducing side-load on the snapping rolls. A bent or cracked divider point causes stalk misalignment, leading to butt-shelling or plugging at the throat. The original frame geometry preserves the factory-set angle between the divider tip and the gathering-chain throat, which the header’s timing relies on for consistent crop flow.
