NC | here we raise SRW and back in say 1989 or so they first showed up. became a fad and probably where 30+ in the local area. still raise SRW in the area but today there are maybe less than 3 still running. they got such a bad rep for wasting wheat here that many at auction received no bids.
if you notice, draper heads are all the rave now and even the Big 3 OEM's are offering them and Deere has even developed their own i'm told? if the strippers had been a very successful tool, wouldn't the OEM's had made marketing deals with SR & sold them also. other than MF offering their take on the stripper i don't think that occurred?
one thing is for sure, a new MacDon 36ft Draper is an expensive tool but it is capable of harvesting how many different crops? the strippers where overly expensive when they first showed up versus a platform on a per foot basis? i can't imagine what a new SR stripper of any width cost today? | |
