Customer Testimonials
John Hawley
Auburn, NE
“Deck plates auto adjust according to stalk size…nice you don’t have to mess with hydraulic deck plates adjustments and makes it simpler for the operator and don’t see near as much corn on the ground.”
LeRoy Johnson
LeRoy, MN
“After running a corn head with hydraulic deck plates and after seeing this one that self adjusts itself, there is no comparison: I mean, there is just no comparison.”
Randy Flora
Carroll County, IN
“I’m happy to get away from the hydraulic deck plates. You no longer have to question yourself as far as width.”
Donald DeRycke
Victor, IA
“It’s unbelievable how much less grain loss there is with this corn head. Wow!”
Joseph Komisar
Pepin WI
“Auto deck plates do all the work for you to various conditions in the field. I’d recommend the Drago to anybody from what I’ve seen of this head.”
Bob Wachsmuth
Menomonie, WI
“We bought it first for the self adjusting deck plates but the thing we learned since fighting down corn is that the head works well because of the large idlers on the extended gathering chains and the way it gathers corn and pulls it into the head.”
Bob Swedburg
Owatonna, MN
“The strength of the head is the ability to save and harvest the grain. The chopping ability is icing on the cake.”
Bryon Briewer
Bradshaw, NE
“We’ve got the shredder underneath it: been in green corn, wet corn and it pulverizes it and shreds it up. It does a really good job…pulls a little harder in green corn but it’s ready to fertilize.”
Bill Schrader
Walford, IA
“The chopper is a great option and performed well beyond expectations. I could not tell that it took any more power and was surprised the chopper knives barely looked used.”
Doug Johnson
Ong, NE
“We had a 2208 on the day they delivered the Drago...green corn, green leaves on it, and corn was testing 22%. We took the red head off and put this head on with chopper and picked up right at half a mile an hour going through the field.”
Gerald Ochsner
Sutton, NE
“I like the knife-to-knife rollers, helps us on tillage. It chews it up as we harvest. Fact is, it’s chewed up so well we hardly need a shredder. We won’t use one this year.”
Randy Dermody
Parnell, IA
“We had no problems what-so-ever. We had yields ranging from 50 bushels to 220 bushels – I never saw any corn on the ground from the corn head.”
Leroy Blom
Grinnell, IA
“The Drago is well built. Am very satisfied with it and my dealer.”
Loren Burken
Clinton, IA
“To me, comparing a Drago corn head to a conventional corn head is like comparing daylight to darkness.”
Lynn Bierstedt
Lone Rock, IA
“I am still running the head I bought 4 years ago. The workmanship and quality are above average.”
Jeff VonHoltum
Plum City, WI
“Virtually no breakdowns…no mechanical problems…maintenance free…grease rollers every 20 hours, top every 50 hours and that’s about it.”
Tom Reischling
Darlington, WI
“I’ve picked in the rain before with this head with very minimal shelling…gonna get a little, but late in the year and it’s time to go, you pick in the rain…simple as that.”
Tom Renner
Ventura, IA
“We started harvesting earlier because we had down corn. Got into it and it was 19% moisture so we kept at it. I’ve had no problem with that even with Twin Rows. It pulls it in with no problem at all.”
Dan Hilger
Farragut, IA
“It met every expectation. I just didn’t have to work on it which is nice. It did what I expected it to do and I was extremely pleased with it.”
Jim Richards
Tecumseh, KS
“I don’t see any ear bounce on this head at all. I just don’t see any ears fly out.”
Jerry Berg
Watertown, MN
“Used the Drago for Twin Row performance – it worked great with less corn loss. The chopper worked super.”
Greg and Eric Palmer
Grove City, MN
“We did a replicated strip comparison with a Pioneer weigh wagon between a demo Drago and our Harvestec – the results were 4-5 Bu/Acre increase with the Drago. The Drago did a great job chopping stalks and we also found we could drive 1 mph faster with the Drago. After doing the comparison we traded our Harvestec for a 6 row Drago.”
Charles Hawley
Auburn, NE
“Until you run one or watch it run, you can’t believe how much corn you save…I think some test show 2-3 Bu/A savings. When you talk $3.50 - $4.00 corn it doesn’t take long to make-up difference of price of corn head.”
Lynn Pickerill
Unadilla, NE
“The best cost saving head I have ever operated.”
Greg Retzlaff
Adams, NE
“I really like it. Best corn head I’ve ever run.”
