“All makes of corn header height control sensors loose up to 75% of their ability to sense changes in the terrain when the snout tips contact the ground. When the tips touch the ground, it significantly reduces the motion of the sensor, which reduces the effective sensitivity and therefore the performance of the header control system,” said Rob Schlipf, product engineer, Headsight, Inc. “The key distinction between Foresight and other header control systems is that Foresight can recognize when the snout tips touch the ground and
restore the lost performance.”

The increase in header control responsiveness provided by patent pending Foresight has numerous advantages including reduced header to ground contact. This then, reduces header damage, component wear, and combine dirt intake as well as increasing threshing efficiency.

The improved performance also allows the header to be safely operated lower to the ground, increasing yield by gathering more crop particularly in down corn. Foresight’s quick response allows operators to increase both their harvesting speed and comfort level. Foresight is especially recommended for customers in down corn, quickly changing ground conditions, stalk chopping headers, large headers or customers who simply have high expectations for their header control.

Foresight is optional on all Headsight corn header control systems and available for use with most other brands of sensors as well. Don’t hesitate to contact us for any questions you might have regarding Foresight.
