In contrary off the “old school” reliable chain headers, the rotary corn header on your self-propelled forage harvester allow you to cut corners and keep rolling, without worrying about row width or following the rows. Corn row spacing vary all over the world, current row widths employed by farmers typically vary from 15" to 38", with most producers at 30" today.
Please visit our website for more information on this topic.
Rotary headers are designed with small drums, big drums, or a combination of both. We have found that the big drum headers work better in tall and higher yielding corn. They just seem to move the corn better to the feed rolls. Other people prefer more the small drum headers because they smaller and less weight.
The rotary headers are expressed in meters or in the amount of row they can cut. Most common today are the headers of 6 meters - 8 row, 7.5 meters – 10 row and the biggest under them all are the 9 meter – 12 row headers.
Row independent rotary headers can harvest corn, sorghum, elephant grass, sugarcane, sunflowers, and rye.
Calmer BT Chopper® Stalk Rolls and Residue Management Kits help reduce a management pass across the field, improve planting operations, last longer than factory parts, and increase yields and profits! 100% satisfaction or your money back guaranteed!
In , John Deere & Co. tested their stalk rolls against Calmer’s BT
Chopper® and another aftermarket stalk roll design.
Their tests supported what we’ve been saying all along about the benefits
that make our stalk roll kits the most effective on the market.
John Deere’s tests showed that Calmer BT Chopper® Stalk Rolls have
the lowest gearbox spreader load (stress on pinion shafts) than even
factory john deere stalk rolls.

Calmer Stalk Rolls take a minimal amount of additional horsepower
compared to standard Deere rolls and 22% less horsepower than the
360 Chainroll.
When comparing Calmer Stalk Rolls to rotary-bladed chopping corn
heads, our rolls use 25% less horsepower, are lower maintenance, are
less expensive, and leave stubble that is easier on tires.
Calmer BT Chopper® Stalk Rolls cut, chop and shear cornstalks into the
smallest pieces in the industry for fast decomposition, easier planting,
and higher yields.

NewAgTalk.com continues to be a trusted medium where farmers can openly exchange ideas and reviews on ag products. Over the years, discussions surrounding Calmer products have attracted more than a million views. Below are some Calmer-related discussions important to farmers.
A study from the University of Illinois’ Department of Crop Sciences found that Calmer BT Chopper® Stalk Rolls increase continuous corn yields by an average of 6 bushel per acre when compared to OEM stalk rolls.
Image A) Standard stalk rolls fail to engage and process stalks properly, resulting in additional management passes and lower yields due to nutrients being immobilized on the soil surface.
Image B) Calmer BT Chopper® Stalk rolls chop stalks into small pieces while simultaneously exposing the inner pith to recycle critical nutrients back into the soils faster, resulting in faster degradation rates and higher yields.
The University of Illinois study showed the way Calmer BT Choppers® size cornstalks increased corn on corn yields be an average of 6 bushels per acre!
By exposing the inner pith of the stalk, the Phosphorus, Potassium, and Nitrogen applied to grow the crop are recycled back into the soil instead of remaining immobilized on the soil surface.
Seedling emergence in continuous corn was significantly delayed during the first 5 days of emergence (3-26% delay across harvest method; P= 0.007) compared to corn in rotation with soybean. Stand establishment was reduced in corn on corn vs. corn following soybean (94% vs. 97%, respectively)

Allow the natural elements to work for you toward breaking down cornstalk residue. The study showed that cornstalks sized by Calmer BT Choppers® degraded 7% faster than residue managed by factory stalk rolls.

We generally see 500- row acres. Simplifying that out for example, projected life expectancy for BT Choppers® on an 8-row corn head would be between 4,000 and 8,000 acres harvested in total. Life expectancy is maximized when following Calmer’s recommended corn head angle settings.
Yes – definitely, and that increases the value of your investment. We publish the installation manuals and provide support for questions that may arise.
No. Installing Calmer BT Choppers® by themselves will yield positive results and increase your corn heads performance; however, installing Calmer’s entire upgrade kit will result in maximum performance.
