2023 Capello Gladius 900

New Gladius Corn Heads

The GLADIUS by Capello is a machine designed to conquer any corn field regardless of row spacing, planting direction or split/twin row applications. Employing the time-tested Capello row unit engineering but configured in a way that allows for maximum aggressiveness related to the sorting of plants while maintain the elegant cob collection that Capello is known for…the GLADIUS is the perfect solution for non-traditional corn planting situations. The GLADIUS 32 row corn head will shine in applications like: high population corn, varied row spacing corn, twin-row corn, any row spacing from 5-inch to 40-inch and beyond! For operations that are considering changing row spacing in the future or looking at testing some of the new spacing arrangements and planter spitting technologies, fear of high-cost equipment has been a hurdle. That concern is now over.

With ultra-strong tips and very low profile, the GLADIUS will be just as reliable in down corn as all Capello headers have been for over 50 years. The GLADIUS is designed to work at any angle against the rows, harvesting contours without following rows and can even be ran perpendicular to the planting direction. This is all achieved without the added cost, weight and trade risk associated with a custom-built header…the GLADIUS uses time-tested and proven Capello technology without a lot of extra moving parts, wear points, maintenance points and complexity.

GLADIUS is battle-proven in the toughest conditions. Any row spacing. Any direction. There is No Stopping the GLADIUS from conquering your field. All-Row Headers are available in 20, 27 and 32 feet configurations today.
