Some local laws prohibit the transport and road circulation of combines with their corn heads hooked.

  • Page 37: Section 5 - Operation

    Section 5 – Operation Section 5 – Operation 5.1 – General Information In the field, the corn head is placed with its ends between the rows of plants, the ends will open and catch the rows into the harvesting system. The stalk rollers grasp the stalk of the corn plant and pull it down by passing it between two head plates placed on top of the stalk rolls which are intended drag the plant in the lower part of the corn-head and retain corn ears on top of the plates.
  • Page 38 Section 5 – Operation Deck Plates The deck plates (D) on the Drago GT corn head are designed to gently strip the ears from the stalks when the corn plant is pulled down with the stalk roller. Both deck plates are independently adjusted with spring pressure and require no operator input.
  • Page 39 The optional stalk chopper is responsible for additional sizing of residue as it exits the bottom of the corn head. The Drago GT corn head can be equipped with three different stalk chopping options to suit different farming practices. The non-chopping option will leave the longest stalks and the largest material sizing, while the Twin Chop+ offers the shortest stalks and smallest material sizing.

  • Page 40: Individual Component Protection

    5.2 – Individual Component Protection The Drago GT corn head comes from the factory with Individual Component Protection on key items to prevent component damage if foreign objects are encountered. The Individual Component Protection consists of radial pin slip clutches installed inside gears rotating in sealed housings.
  • Page 41 Row Unit Gearbox The main ring gear (C) that drives the stalk rollers in each row unit gearbox on the Drago GT corn head has an internal radial pin slip clutch (D). This allows both of the stalk rollers to slip independent of the rest of the row unit should a foreign object be encountered.

  • Page 43: Deck Plates

    5.4 – Deck Plates The deck plates on the Drago GT corn head are designed to gently strip the ear of corn from the stalk while minimizing loss from but shelling. This is accomplished by allowing both deck plates on each row to adjust independently to crop conditions.

  • Page 44: Quadsuspension

    Section 5 – Operation 5.4.2 – QuadSuspension The deck plates on the GT series corn heads also feature a spring loaded deck plate cushioning feature called QuadSuspension.
