Delaware County, IN | We are in the market for a new corn head and I would like input on both the Drago GT and the Capello. We currently run a Gleaner S67 with a 6 row Agco head. A 6 row fits our operation well, so we'd like to stay with that size. This being said, I'd like to push ground speed if possible, maybe in the 6-6.5mph area. We don't have a need for a chopping head, so chopping performance doesn't really matter to me. We have a great relationship with our Capello dealer (also our Gleaner dealer), and have never dealt with the Drago dealer before but they seem good to work with. We priced a Geringhoff too, but it's drastically more expensive. I'd like to hear everyone's experiences with these two, both good and bad. My main concerns are reliability, maintenance, reduced head shelling, and low trash intake, in no particular order.
Also, we are considering end row augers/roller cones on either head, are these worth it? We don't usually have too much down corn, but I could see benefits to them anyway.
