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.
Stalk Rollers
The stalk rollers (E) counter rotate to one another
creating a pinching action to pull the corn plant
downwards. They also perform a small amount of
sizing to the corn plant.
Stalk Chopper
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. Both the single chopping gearbox and the Twin
Chop+ can be added at any time to a non-chopping head. Inversely both the single chopping gearbox and the
Twin Chop+ can be removed at any time by adding the non-chopping block off plate.
