The Drago GT corn head
for seed corn harvest

No other corn head works like a Drago, or pays you back like one.

Whether you are using an Oxbo or other seed corn harvester, a Drago is your best choice out front for better yield capture, grain quality and durability. The Drago GT corn head’s enviable reputation for harvest efficiency and reliability in field corn makes it the ideal option for seed corn harvest, too. Features like impact-absorbing deck plates, longer knife rollers that turn more slowly and an all-gear drive will help you capture more high-quality seed corn season after season.

The best-performing head for field corn is your best choice for seed corn harvest, too.

 

DESIGNED TO HARVEST MORE CORN IN A RANGE OF FIELD CONDITIONS

The Drago GT is uniquely designed to reduce ear bounce and butt shelling to help maintain seed quality and capture more yield during seed corn harvest.

QuadSuspension™

Integrated impact-absorbing “ear shocks” reduce ear bounce when ears strike deck plates – reducing a significant cause of harvest yield loss and damage when harvesting higher-moisture corn.

Automatic Self-Adjusting Deck Plates

Spring-loaded deck plates automatically – and constantly – respond to changing stalk widths within each row unit to minimize small ear loss.

Oversized Cross Auger

A massive auger moves ears gently and more efficiently, reducing potential yield loss at the feederhouse.

Industry's Longest Knife Rollers

Longer knife rollers run more slowly, further reducing the impact of ears on deck plates to help reduce yield loss and maintain grain quality.

Overlapping Gathering Chains

Placed out-front, overlapping gathering chains play a vital role in picking up corn in less-than-perfect conditions. 

Industry's Lowest Profile

Snoots slip under corn and limits loss from falling ears. 

Knife-to-Knife Design

Roller knife blades catch and release stalks as they are pulled into the head, allowing plants to move further into the row unit before the ear is removed to help assure ear capture.

THE DRAGO GT ISN’T JUST BUILT TO HARVEST MORE; IT’S BUILT TO RUN LONGER.

The Drago GT is built in the most advanced and automated plant of its kind in the world. Every moving part on the head is measured and checked for precision.

Spiral-Bevel Gears

The most durable and efficient gears — like those used in the aviation industry – always have two teeth engaged vs. straight gears (which have only one) and deliver more power and add years of reliable service.

Inline Power

Power is driven inline through row units for higher efficiency. Drive shafts are connected with self-engaging couplers if service to a single row unit is ever needed.

Endura Drive™

An all-gear-driven design – including the auger drive – is standard on every row configuration for long-lasting, maintenance-free reliability.

Precise Clutch Technology™

Drago GT gathering chains, knife rollers and chopper gearbox each have a dedicated radial slip clutch with its own precise setting for superior component protection.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES MEET YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS

The Drago GT corn head easily mounts to Oxbo seed corn harvesters, with row configurations and a variety of options that meet your seed corn harvest needs.

  • Folding Head – available on 8-row models and wider, saves time and simplifies transportation farm-to-farm or field-to-field at harvest.
  • Choppers – choose Twin Chop+ with counter-rotating blades for exceptional sizing, or a Single Chop option with on-off engagement for standard residue sizing.
  • HeadSight® Header Height Control – the leading header height control technology is a perfect marriage with Drago’s technology for maximum yield and harvest efficiency.
  • Short Down-Corn Augers – bring in leaning stalks and limit hanging ear loss for added yield capture and confidence in lodged- or down-corn situations.
  • Long Down-Corn Augers – for rigid heads only, long down-corn augers keep down corn from leaning over the side and losing hanging ears. They center stalks back over the rollers.
  • Row Configurations – available in any row configurations from 4-24 rows and 20”-40” row spacings. Contact your Drago dealer for size inquiries.
