Swath harvesting headers
The trailed swath harvesting header ZhVP-4.9 is an efficient device for harvesting spiked cereals and cereal crops of medium and low yields with the mowed mass being placed in a single counter-flow swath in all climatic zones where a separate harvesting method is used.
The trailed swath harvesting header ZhVP-6.4 is an efficient device for harvesting spiked cereals and cereal crops of medium and low yields with the mowed mass being placed in a single counter-flow swath in all climatic zones where a separate harvesting method is used.
The trailed swath harvesting header ZhVP-9.1 is an efficient device for harvesting spiked cereals and cereal crops of medium and low yields with the mowed mass being placed in a single counter-flow swath in all climatic zones where a separate harvesting method is used.
The trailed combine draper header HPP-6.7 is an efficient device for harvesting cereals, cereal crops and grasses for hay of medium and low yields with the mowed mass being placed in a single counter-flow swath in all climatic zones where a separate harvesting method is used.
Swath harvesting headers - this is a new product in the Sunfloro line is designed for mowing medium and low-yielding cereals and cereal crops with the crop being placed in a single counter-flow swath in all climatic zones where separate harvesting is used.
Sunfloro swath cutters provide:
- a swath of good quality and optimum volume;
- high productivity for mowing and picking;
- facilitating the working conditions of the operator.
The use of swath harvesting headers makes it possible to:
- reduce the cost of separate harvesting;
- free up some combines from working with swath reapers;
- more efficiently utilize the transport fleet.
It can be combined with all known brands of combine harvesters.

Harvesting of grains, cereals and sown grasses is one of the most common operations in agriculture. The key agricultural machine that performs the grain harvesting operation is a unit that includes a self-propelled power vehicle (combine harvester, tractor) and a reaper. Today, there are two main technologies for harvesting grains, cereals and sown grasses: direct combining (single-phase harvesting) and split harvesting (two-phase harvesting). Despite the fact that direct harvesting is a more common technology, the separate method, which uses windrower harvesters, is more efficient in some cases.
The principle of operation of swath harvesting headers
The principle of operation of swath harvesting headers is to mow a mass of grain, cereals and sown grasses and place them on the field in a swath of a certain size and volume. Depending on the location of the discharge window, the swath can be placed on the left, right, or center (only for trailed reapers). In the second phase of picking up and threshing the swath, a pickup platform is used, which is combined with a combine harvester.
What are the different types of swath harvesting headers?
All swath harvesting headers are divided into the following types according to the method of aggregation:
- trailed
- mounted
- universal
Trailed swath harvesting headers are aggregated with tractors, which allows you to start harvesting without the use of expensive combines, which are involved only at the stage of swath selection and threshing.
The mounted swath reapers are connected directly to the combine harvester, but the crop does not enter the threshing chamber, but is placed in a swath on the field.
Depending on the availability of tractors or combines, universal swath reapers can be operated either as a mounted or trailed machine.
What tractors and combines can be combined with swath harvesting headers?
The vast majority of swath reapers can be combined with tractors of class 1.4-2.0 or with corresponding combine harvesters of domestic or foreign manufacturers. This is one of the advantages of swath headers, as the farm is not limited in the choice of energy sources, as is the case with direct combining.
What to look for when choosing a swath headers
When purchasing a swath harvesting header it is important to study in detail its capabilities in terms of operation and technical characteristics. Particular attention should be paid to parameters such as working width, capacity, cutting height, and operating speed. The price of a windrower will depend on these factors, as they determine the overall functionality and efficiency of the reaper. In addition, pay attention to the type of conveyor. If you need to harvest grass seeds, then only a windrower with a continuous belt and slat conveyor is suitable for this purpose, which will prevent their loss during windrowing. Sunfloromash sale managers will tell you what parameters you need to choose for your operating conditions.
