Row-independent headers and pickup heads from the world’s leading forage head manufacturer — now sold and supported through Scherer
Inc. and our dealer network.
Scherer Inc. is now the authorized North American importer for the full line of Kemper forage harvesting headers — giving growers, custom harvesters, and dealers a single domestic source for the row independent heads and pickups built by Maschinenfabrik Kemper GmbH & Co. KG of Stadtlohn, Germany.
This partnership unites two complementary industry leaders: Kemper’s expertise in crop intake and forage header design, and Scherer’s depth in kernel processing and silage quality. The result is a more integrated harvesting solution — backed by the parts inventory, technical knowledge, and hands-on service support that North American operations demand.
Kemper is widely regarded as the world’s leading manufacturer of forage harvester front-end attachments — particularly for corn silage, whole
crop harvesting, and windrowed crops. For the first time, that product line is fully available through a dedicated North American importer with on-the ground support all season long.
As Kemper’s Authorized North American Importer, Scherer Inc. serves as the primary point of contact for parts, service, and technical assistance — with a direct connection to Kemper’s factory, engineering, and support teams throughout the year.
Row-independent cutting handles corn, cereal crops, sorghum, miscanthus, and other crop mixes without following row spacing — eliminating conventional header limitations.
An open design sheds residue while high-speed rotors cut cleanly across the full working width — maintaining consistent throughput in down, tangled, or wet crop conditions.
Stepped transverse drums and a contoured floor consolidate crop across the full channel for steady intake and consistent chop quality
— exactly what your harvester’s processing system needs.
Fast folding, a 9.8 ft transport width, and a low center of gravity simplify field changes and road travel — keeping downtime to a minimum on high-acreage days.
The 400 Pro Series delivers high-capacity performance, excellent crop flow, and reliable operation in high-yield and lodged corn conditions. Available in three working widths.
THE VERSATILE ALL-ROUNDER
460 PRO
6-ROW · ROW-INDEPENDENT
Four identically sized drums deliver direct crop flow in a lighter 20 ft package — a strong fit for mixed crops, variable row spacings, and operations that need a versatile, smooth-feeding all-rounder
THE MID-RANGE LEADE
475 PRO
8-ROW · ROW-INDEPENDENT
Four identically sized large drums and two smaller outer drums guide crop across a 25 ft width with ease — delivering the throughput and speed of a wider head with consistent, high quality chop.
FLAGSHIP · HIGH-ACREAGE
490 PRO
10-12 ROW · ROW-INDEPENDENT
Six identically sized drums and a full 30 ft working width cover 50% more ground per pass than the 460PRO. Optimized crop flow, quick double folding, and excellent visibility for maximum big-acre efficiency.
490 PRO
The Kemper C35 Pickup Head is engineered to maximize forage intake from windrows while maintaining smooth crop flow and exceptional durability — the preferred pickup for CLAAS forage harvesters harvesting haylage, alfalfa, and other windrowed crops.
Its patented auger design and six-tine bar pickup reel allow operators to fully utilize the capacity of today’s high performance forage harvesters, even in wet and uneven swath conditions.

Every leading forage harvester brand runs a Kemper header. When you buy yours through Scherer Inc., you get more than the equipment — you get North America’s dedicated Kemper support network built around your harvest season.
Scherer maintains a direct connection to Kemper’s factory, engineering, and support teams — so answers and parts come from the source, not a third party.
Scherer works directly with growers, custom operators, and dealers to identify the right header and ensure timely access to correct replacement parts — all season long.
Scherer’s depth in kernel processor systems and silage quality pairs with Kemper’s crop intake technology — giving your operation access
to a more integrated harvesting solution.
