No other corn head can maximize your yield or Return on Investment like a Drago. And bottom-line, isn’t that what farming is all about?
Yield Loss
“As a rule of thumb, each additional 1/10th of an inch deck plate opening may be causing as much as 4 bushels an acre loss,” Dr. Graeme Quick.
The automatic self-adjusting takes the worry out of deck plate settings. Plus, reduces shelling loss and increases harvested yield.
Let’s do the math of what a Drago may potentially save you - make you.
Long Life
We believe Drago is the best built Corn Head in the world. Since its introduction into the United States in 2002, we now have customers that have harvested well over 10,000 acres of corn and still going strong. The reasons for Drago’s long life are superior engineering, precision manufacturing, heavier quality parts and operators that believe in proper maintenance.
So how many acres can a Drago harvest in its lifetime? We don’t know yet. But as you are figuring your ROI, you can confidently use the 10,000 acres column.
Resale
The resale on used Drago heads remains incredibly strong. Why? Quite simply, it’s supply and demand. There is more demand for used Drago heads than the supply of farmers ready to part with their long-lasting Drago.
The resale value for used Drago heads is much higher than for the competition. Any of the competition!
Bottom-line ROI - $146,500
We will use conservative numbers; 2 Bu/A savings, $4 corn, $8.65 per acre with chopper over 10,000 acres.
2 Bu/A X $4 per Bu = $8.00 per acre
Add $8.65(Chopper Savings) = $16.65 per acre
Minus cost of Drago Chopper ($2.00) = $14.65 per acre
$14.65 per acre X 10,000 acres = $146,500
