Dustin Bollig of Dragotec USA and Darren Hefty discuss why up to 60% of harvest loss happens before the corn ever reaches your combine’s feederhouse. Harvesting in 200+ bushel per acre fields, stalk variability can be your biggest yield challenge—and manual deck plates can’t keep up. Darren and Dustin dive into the data comparing manual hydraulic systems versus self-adjusting deck plate technology, proving how the right combine corn head captures the yield you’ve worked all season to grow. Don't leave your best bushels in the field; see why the data speaks for itself.
