Subject: RE: Calmer chopper rolls vs chopping corn head


The Calmer BT Chopper is the newest stalk roll that will make your old corn head better than a chopping corn head. less moving parts, lower horsepower requirements, less money, etc... the CHOPPER stalk roll turns stalk residue into small "confetti like" residue. Stalks will be left at the height of the corn head, exploded top, helps keep residue from moving and is kinder to tires. No additional horsepower requirements.
The older Calmer BT Crusher crushed and crimped the stalk, leaving long 8-10 inch opened up residue. It was a great upgrade for its time, and was better than any other rolls available 2 years ago. These rolls are no longer available because we have gone strictly to offering the Calmer BT Chopper.
We have a 1 yr manufacturer’s warranty on all our products. If you have not been helped with a problem, please call again. We even have a trade program for your Crusher rolls to get Chopper rolls at a discounted price.
VERY IMPORTANT corn heads should always be as close to a 25° angle for best performance. Head speed is also very important. 55 RPM on gathering chain is a good starting point. If ground speed is 4mph, and chain spins @ 3, the lugs will back draft on the stalk and keep it from engaging the stalk roll correctly. Installation instructions on our web pages are a great read, even for non Calmer product owners.
