“Last summer we ran a 45' D60 on our class 8 combine and we noticed a huge capacity increase. At first we thought that it was going to be a bit hard getting around with it but we ended up being thoroughly impressed with it. We were able to run that class eight combine with a 45' head at the same field speed as our class seven combines with 36' heads. More important, that D60 45' head did a great job keeping the combine full. It was feeding about five to one better than our other draper headers. With the D60s there is a lot less operator fatigue. You can see the crop a lot better, and the adjustments and leveling with the new combine adapter is easier and more forgiving, especially in the ditches. Cutting has also been improved. Last summer we encountered some very dry and fluffy green peas and our D60 was the only header that could handle them. Next summer we plan to add more D60s to our operation.”
