Greens Cutting Head

Oxbo packed the innovative greens cutting head on the GH80 with unique features including an exclusive parallel link float system that eliminated the needs for a full width ground roller. This allows re-growth of the crop for operations that employ multiple cut harvesting.

The helix auger transfer design allows the incorporation of a very wide air gap for elimination of dirt clods, field debris, vermin, and other foreign objects. A constantly compensated tensioning system on the endless band blade promotes consistent cutting performance with optimum cut quality. Each feature combines to give you reduced tearing, fraying, and dropped product on the bed surface and helps improve the quality on the second and third cuttings.

Pepper Harvesting Head

The GH80 can also be equipped the unique Yung-Etgar Agricultural Machinery pepper harvesting head. This head removes chile peppers from the plant with specially designed open helix strippers. The resistance between the helixes is adjusted by the operator for maximum harvesting efficiency with minimal product damage.

The harvester can operate in crop heights up to 50 inches (127 cm) and is capable of harvesting both green and red peppers. The picking head is available in row spacings of 20 inches to 40 inches (51-102cm).
