Central Ohio
Has any farmer, or any school, done an actual head to head (no pun intended!) comparison of a flex draper vs. a flex auger head in soybeans?
The claim is always 1.5-2 bu/ac of shatter loss that is eliminated by going with a draper. At that rate, there are few farmers who could afford NOT to buy a draper.
Any actual/quasi-actual studies, or on farm studies other than word from MacDon or others?
Flex Draper vs. Flex auger head- actual soybean savings?
