Cob Collection Attachment

For John Deere 9670, 9770 and
9870 STS combines.

Offload into a Combine or Tractor-Pulled Cart
With Hillco's Cob Collection System you have the option of ordering a combine-pulled cart or a tractor-pulled cart to best meet your individual farming needs.

Collect to Spread at the Push of a Button
Combine-Pulled Cart - When your cart is full of cobs and you're not in a position to offload, just switch to Spread mode and evenly spread residue until the right offloading opportunity arises.

Tractor-Pulled Cart - When offloading cobs continuously to a tractor-pulled cart not every field situation will allow you to capture the cobs. Switch to Spread mode to evenly spread residue until the cart is available and eliminate unnecessary stops during harvest.

Quick Changeover Between Crops
The Spread to Collect mode also allows you to select the areas of the field to be collected. Switching from corn to soybeans is accomplished in a few short minutes by utilizing the Cob Attachment's Spread to Collect feature in combination with the quick disengage feature of the main belt drive.

Variable Rate Cleaning Technology
With the touch of a button, adjusting the speed of the Cob Attachment's cleaning fans provides the flexibility to collect and clean cobs from 70% to 90%+ cob (by weight). This function allows the operator to accommodate ever-changing field conditions associated with moisture levels and cob varieties.

Versatile Spout Design
Spout Rotation - The Cob Attachment's blower spout is equipped with an auto-tracking feature for combine-pulled carts to ensure total collection while cornering. Manual spout rotation allows you to evenly fill tractor-pulled carts.

Spout Tip Control - The spout's tip can be flexed to vary the discharge height of material as it leaves the spout. This fingertip control makes loading a tractor-pulled cart a breeze.

Compatible with both Vane and PowerCast Tailboards
The combine must be equipped with a straw chopper to power the Cob Attachment.

Residue Disposal
In Collect mode, fans spread MOC (material other than cobs) up to 30 feet. The Cob Attachment incorporates adjustable vanes to allow for optimum control of residue distribution.

Efficient Mechanical Drive
The Cob Attachment is designed to minimize horsepower consumption leaving you plenty of power to maintain harvesting efficiency. The mechanical drive is far more efficient than systems operating on hydraulics.

Operator Friendly
The Cob Attachment controls (and Cob Cart controls if so equipped) are mounted within easy reach of the operator. An integrated camera system provides excellent visibility of the spout's material stream to optimize loading of tractor-pulled carts or for monitoring cob fill levels in the combine-pulled cart.

Lightweight Yet Durable
Both Cob Collection Attachment and Cob Cart are built to maximize harvesting efficiency. Pulling overweight carts through the field leads to lost productivity and increases stress on your combine's frame and drivetrain. This lightweight system also minimizes yield-robbing ground compaction.

Attachment and Cart Controls
Rocker Switches give you simple fingertip control of Cob Attachment and Cob Cart functions.
