The gold-standard in sickle bar headers. Leave it to the brand that invented the auger header to provide the smooth, clean cutting you demand from a sickle/auger header. Available in 14-, 16- and 18-foot cutting widths the Hesston 9125 features the Hesston trademark dual augers along with a double sickle and a single pair of rubber-on-steel or steel-onsteel conditioner rolls. Meanwhile, the Hesston 9145, which boasts the exclusive Advanced Conditioning System in addition to the 9100 Series’ standard features, is available in 14- and 16-foot cutting widths. All models feature hydraulic drive, hydraulic header flotation and hydraulic roll tension for easy adjustment and time-tested reliability. Time-tested features • A standard five-bat (a sixth bat is optional) reel that takes smaller “bites” provides smooth feeding to the augers and conditioner. • A half-swaybar dual sickle drive system that uses a counter-balanced flywheel to reduce peak starting, stopping and cutting loads. The system also reduces vibration and side-to-side movement while driving the sickle at 1,840 strokes per minute. • Dual, counter-rotating augers, which provide two separate “live” feeding elements, ensure smooth, even feeding across the full width of the conditioner rolls. • A standard header reverser on the Hesston 9125 allows the operator to back large objects or slugs out of the header without leaving the seat. • Tine tubes are segmented between bulkhead spiders for quicker and easier tine replacement. Reel tine tubes also rotate on sealed ball bearings for longer life and less downtime. • Sickle sections are bolted to the sickle bar, rather than riveted, for quicker, easier field replacement.

The Hesston dual auger system features a slip clutch on each auger for maximum protection, as well as center supports on the bottom augers for less vibration and reduced risk of damage. Meanwhile, the top auger floats up to 1.4 inches (36 mm) for more efficient feeding in a wider range of crop conditions. Unlike traditional conditioners, the Advanced Conditioning System on the Hesston 9145 sickle header utilizes two pairs of independently controlled herringbone conditioner rolls positioned in line for double conditioning. A pair of steel-on-steel rolls start the conditioning process, while a pair of shallow-lug, machined rubber rolls provide the extra crushing action that speeds crop drying. Sickle Headers PAGE 15
