Corn Head Gathering Chains

The very first successful corn combine that used corn gathering chains was manufactured in 1929 by the Gleaner-Baldwin Company. However, major developments didn't begin until after World War II when the engineers at John Deere produced and successfully offered a corn head combine mount in 1954. John Deere got their start in Grand Detour, Illinois which happens to be about 10 miles from our store front in Dixon, Illinois. Corn head gathers using chains (known as corn head gathering chain) running in a ramp mechanism to gather the stalks and then cut them with pairs of circular saw blades, then an auger-type mechanism feeds the plants into a threshing cylinder. Since then a few things have changed, but the general concept and operation has remained the same.
