AirFlex NXT-2

STILL THE CLOSEST SHAVE. The AirFLEX NXT has evolved into a tougher and more resilient machine, all while maintaining its simple design and providing the closest cut imaginable. With improvements that enhance performance and reliability, the NXT focuses on the future of farming. In flex mode, the AirFLEX NXT will shave the ground, picking up more of your peas, lentils or soybeans. In rigid mode, the no-compromise cutterbar will race through taller crops like canola and cereals. And the switch from flex to rigid mode is made from the cab of your combine, at the push of a button. If you want a...

9 INCHES OF FLEX The AirFLEX NXT effectively shaves the ground thanks to its 9 inches of flex across the width of the independently-suspended cutterbar. Our adjustable air suspension gives you precise control over the flexibility or rigidity of the cutterbar, unlike other heads, allowing you to collect even the lowest-hanging pods in any field condition. FULLY FLEXIBLE CUTTERBAR CONTROLLED BY AIR The independently-suspended cutterbar is light, fast-reacting, and infinitely adjustable. REVERSIBLE MECHANICAL DRIVE The center drive reduces weight and provides more powerful cutting and feeding action....

SPEND MORE TIME IN THE CAB EASY TO OPERATE The AUTOMATIX system is an advanced control panel delivering simple and complete control of the AirFLEX NXT. CAB-ADJUSTABLE SKID SHOES TRANSPORT CART Upgrades to the transport system allow the transport cart lock pin to be engaged/disengaged from one easily accessible latch arm. OPTIMIZED HEADER HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM The pneumatic gauge wheel system allows for better functionality in rough and soft terrain and works in conjunction with the suspended subframe for an accurate header height response. In flex mode, the skid shoes achieve a consistent stubble...

CROSS AUGER A larger 12” diameter hydraulic cross auger improves material flow from the drapers to the feed auger, adjusting for bulky and tangled crops like peas and mustard. HARVEST WITH PRECISION LOW PROFILE VERTICAL SHEAR DESIGN The redesigned vertical shear features a thinner profile and a simpler design. NARROW PROFILE END SHIELDS IMPROVED AIRBAG ORIENTATION A new design applies a consistent force from the airbag to the cutterbar, allowing for better floatation throughout the full flex range and reducing wear along the cutterbar and skid shoes. A new 5” design replaces the 8”. The thinner...

CENTRALLY DRIVEN REVERSIBLE MECHANICAL DRIVE Most headers have heavy hydraulic drive systems that are prone to surges. Honey Bee’s straightforward and lightweight design provides consistent power to avoid surging and alleviate the rocking and bouncing that is common in heavier designed systems. On those rare occasions when your combine does get plugged, you can unplug it directly from the cab. The drapers, knife drive and feed auger run reverse with the combine.

LOW CUT KNIFE SYSTEM The smooth operating, centrally driven knife drive provides powerful cutting action and increased durability, while enabling a lighter and more streamlined crop divider. Its low profile cuts the crop lower to the ground. Improvements to the knives decrease mass by 12%, reducing vibration and oscillation loads on drive components and increasing their service life.
