To your question, Ron, yes, these charts do exist. The manufacturers themselves are the ones who do the studies as header power requirements can be direcly measured with a device that is installed on the main power shaft/pto driveshaft of the machine. The overall shape and general trends reflected in the one that Geringhoff publishes in their brochure is pretty accurate - they leave it at that so that the JD team of lawyers can't come after them for publishing specifics - that would likely open up a can of worms that they just plain don't want to tackle. I have some notes on some of these studies from a couple years ago, but I cannot simply put them on the internet here for all to see either - these are the property of those who did the study and for whom we worked and are confidential, which is why I can talk generalities but can't go much beyond that.
