A corn head that pays for itself
Do the math to see how Drago yield capture and durability can pay on your farm.
Normal Harvest Savings
How many acres of corn do you harvest per year? We will use this to calculate your annual payback.
Grower research has shown that more than 40% of mainline corn head owners expect to lose two or more bu./acre in normal harvest conditions. Drago GT corn heads feature automatic self-adjusting deck plates, ear shocks and lower-velocity corn knife rollers to reduce ear bounce and shattering to capture more yield.
How many years do you normally run your corn head before trading or purchasing a new one?
Down Corn Savings
On average, how many acres of down corn do you harvest each year?
Grower research has shown that more than 55% of mainline corn head owners expect to lose five or more bu./acre in down corn conditions. Drago corn heads feature industry-leading low profiles and out-front gathering chains to get under corn and capture stalks in the toughest conditions.
