Description

If you’ve spent any time running a corn head, you know how critical the gathering chains are. These chains do the heavy lifting—literally grabbing and pulling corn stalks down into the head where they can be processed. When a gathering chain starts stretching, jumping teeth, or losing lugs, you’re looking at missed corn, plugged heads, and frustration in the field.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty CA550 chain built to handle the constant stress of pulling corn stalks
49 precisely-machined links that maintain proper spacing and engagement
8 strategically-placed lugs that grab stalks firmly without damaging them
Riveted connector ensures the chain stays together under load
Single-strand design for smooth operation and reliable performance

Built for Real Farm Work

This gathering chain is designed for corn heads that need dependable operation day after day. Whether you’re running through tall corn, short corn, or stalks knocked down by weather, these chains keep working when the pressure’s on to get the crop in.

Made to Last

Farm equipment chains take a beating, especially gathering chains that are constantly flexing around sprockets and handling debris. The riveted construction means the chain won’t come apart at the worst possible moment, and the heat-treated components resist wear even in abrasive conditions.

Good to Know

When installing, make sure you’ve got the chain tensioned properly—too loose and it’ll jump teeth, too tight and it’ll put unnecessary stress on the drive system. A good rule of thumb is about 1/2 inch of deflection when you push on the chain midway between sprockets. Keep some extra connecting links handy during harvest season.
