Drago GT Series

Description

The Drago GT Series corn head is engineered for maximum efficiency and grain savings, delivering industry-leading performance for today’s high-yielding corn operations. Designed with precision and innovation, the GT Series features self-adjusting deck plates that automatically respond to varying stalk sizes, minimizing header loss and maximizing your yield with every pass.

Heavy-duty components, including robust stalk rollers and a reinforced frame, ensure long-term durability and dependable operation in the toughest field conditions. The GT Series offers automatic chopping options, allowing for superior residue management while reducing operator fatigue. Its advanced gearbox system and low-maintenance design make the GT Series a reliable choice for growers who demand more from their equipment.

Compatible with all major combine brands and available in a range of row configurations, the GT Series adapts easily to your operation’s specific needs. Experience the difference with the Drago GT Series corn head—designed to harvest more, waste less, and stand up to the demands of modern agriculture.

Features

AUTOMATIC SELF-ADJUSTING DECK PLATES

  • An industry-first and revolutionary concept in yield capture technology.

QUADSUSPENSION™

  • Integrated impact-absorbing “ear shocks” reduce “butt-shelling” when ears strike deck plates – reducing a significant cause of yield loss at harvest.

INDUSTRY’S LARGEST AUGER

  • Handles more trash and gently moves corn to the combine’s feederhouse – and keeps it there.

ENDURA DRIVE™

  • The first chainless design — including auger drive — that’s standard on all row configurations. Delivers long-lasting, virtually maintenance-free reliability.

SPIRAL BEVEL GEARBOXES

  • The most durable and efficient row unit gearbox possible – more power delivered, more years of service.

TWIN CHOP+ OPTION

  • Counter-cutting blades deliver the best cut and stalk breakdown in the industry.

AUTOMATIC SELF-ADJUSTING DECK PLATES

  • Low-maintenance, spring-loaded deck plate pistons constantly apply pressure to incoming stalks, automatically minimizing plate gap where yield loss can be significant.

INDEPENDENT ROW UNITS

  • Deck plate gaps, both in-row and row-to-row, are determined by the size of stalks running through them, compared to hydraulic systems that set the same plate gap for every row unit.

ANGLED CHAIN DESIGN

  • Gathering chains angle apart — front to back — to release stalks and avoid excessive trash from entering the combine.

POLY CHAIN GUIDES

  • Each gathering chain has five poly chain guides that extend the life of the chain and are reversible after one side has worn.

OVERLAPPING GATHERING CHAINS

  • Oversized idler sprockets, which reduce chain wear, are forward-placed, allowing overlapping chain fingers to grab and capture stalks for processing — a highly valued feature when harvesting downed corn.

QUADSUSPENSION DECK PLATE SHOCKS

  • The exceptional speed at which knife rollers work to pull down stalks, today, results in a violent ear impact on plates. To mitigate this impact, the Drago GT introduced yet another industry first — QuadSuspension™ — integrated, impact-absorbing “ear shocks” that can significantly reduce butt-shelling and the resulting yield loss.

THE LONGER THE KNIFE ROLLER, THE BETTER.

  • The industry’s longest knife rollers combine with a smaller diameter for added plant processing time. The extra time means roller tips can run slower, resulting in less ear bounce – less ear loss – without having to reduce combine speed. No other knife roller measures up to the performance of a Drago knife roller.

LONGER KNIFE ROLLERS

  • At 22.5 inches, the Drago GT features the longest knife rollers in the industry.

Slower Tip Speed

  • Having the longest knife roller with a smaller diameter reduces tip speed for less ear bounce, greater ear retention and reduced butt-shelling.

Reducing Ear Loss

  • A knife-to-knife design pinches, pulls and opens up — allowing plants to move farther back into the corn head before the ear is removed.

NOSE CONE BEARINGS

  • Drago not only supports its knife rollers out front, but has two bearings and a grease bank built right into the nose cone itself. A dirt barrier is milled in to protect seals and bearings when tips are closer to the soil, as in down-corn situations.
