Debut of John Deere's Kemper 400 Pro Corn Harvester: Pioneering a Unique Feature

John Deere Introduces New Kemper 400Pro Corn Header and Harvesters

John Deere has announced the launch of two new field harvesters, the John Deere F8 and F9, and two new versions of the Kemper corn header for the upcoming corn harvest.

The Kemper 400Pro corn header, now in its 2025 model, is getting an integrated transport wheel for the first time. This feature, which allows the driver to activate the wheel directly from the cab, makes transporting the header easier and more convenient. The transport wheel can rotate 360 degrees, offering enhanced maneuverability during transportation.

In addition to the integrated transport wheel, the Kemper 400Pro corn header also features hydraulically driven side knives for heavily intergrown or entangled crops. This design ensures efficient and effective harvesting, even in challenging conditions.

The components of the Kemper 400Pro corn header are designed to be low-maintenance, extending service intervals and reducing downtime. While John Deere does not provide specific details on the low-maintenance design, it is clear that the focus is on durability and reliability.

John Deere has been manufacturing harvesting attachments and grain processing equipment for the Kemper brand since 1997. In addition to the Kemper 400Pro corn header, John Deere also produces the Kemper 400Pro Multicrop, which is designed for a variety of crops.

The new harvesters, the John Deere F8 and F9, deliver between 425 and 1020 PS and offer a newly developed cab and the well-known CommandPro joystick, now available in a harvester for the first time. The F8 and F9 models also come with a new lighting package, although John Deere does not provide further details.

Competitors like Krone with the Big X and Claas with the Jaguar have had similar integrated transport wheel solutions for some time. The introduction of these features by John Deere demonstrates their commitment to staying competitive in the field harvester market.

The Kemper 400Pro corn header also features ComfortRide and ComfortProtect for the first time: an integrated transport wheel and an automatically folding side protection. These features aim to provide a more comfortable and safe harvesting experience for operators.

Overall, John Deere's new offerings demonstrate a focus on innovation, efficiency, and operator comfort. The Kemper 400Pro corn header and the John Deere F8 and F9 harvesters are set to make a significant impact on the upcoming corn harvest.
