Orders opened Oct. 29 for delivery ahead of the 2027 harvest. “With the launch of the Drago GT+ corn head, we are raising the bar on yield capture, durability and harvest efficiency,” said Dustin Bollig, Dragotec vice president of sales and marketing. “It’s for growers who want a corn head built for today’s more intensive harvests.” Designed for today’s agriculture Corn production keeps changing, Bollig said, with higher plant populations, more trash moving through the head, faster dry-down hybrids and occasional down-corn fields all placing greater demands on corn heads.
