Midwest Crophawk - Premium Draper Technology: Midwest Agricultural Products' Crophawk draper headers represent advanced harvest technology designed for commercial grain operations requiring maximum cutting width and productivity. The draper belt design provides significant advantages over conventional auger headers, including gentler crop handling, reduced grain loss, improved feeding consistency, and superior performance in varying crop conditions. The 45-foot cutting width positions this header for large-scale commercial harvesting where productivity and efficiency are critical to operational profitability. 45-Foot Cutting Width - Maximum Productivity: The exceptional 45-foot (13.7-meter) cutting width provides outstanding harvest productivity: Width Advantages:

Maximum Ground Coverage: Covers substantially more acres per hour than narrower headers Reduced Harvest Time: Dramatically shortens harvest window during critical weather periods Improved Profitability: Higher productivity reduces per-acre harvesting costs Commercial Specification: Appropriate width for large-scale commercial operations Competitive Advantage: Enables competitive custom harvesting rates Professional Capacity: Designed for serious commercial grain production

Productivity Comparison: A 45-foot header can harvest approximately 50% more acres per hour than a 30-foot header at equivalent speed, dramatically improving operational efficiency and reducing weather risk during critical harvest periods. Draper Belt Technology - Superior Performance: The draper belt design provides significant advantages over conventional auger headers: Draper Belt Advantages:

Gentler Crop Handling: Reduced grain damage and cracking compared to augers Consistent Feeding: Uniform crop delivery to feeder house improves threshing efficiency Reduced Loss: Minimized grain shatter and gathering loss Better Performance in Down Crops: Superior handling of lodged or tangled crops Improved Speed: Enables faster ground speeds while maintaining crop quality Professional Standard: Draper technology preferred for commercial operations

Crop Applications:

Wheat: Excellent performance in varied wheat conditions Canola/Rapeseed: Gentle handling minimizes seed loss and pod shatter Soybeans: Reduced cracking maintains seed quality and germination Barley: Gentle handling preserves malting quality Small Grains: Versatile performance across diverse grain crops Specialty Crops: Appropriate for high-value specialty grain production

New Holland CR970 Configuration: The header is specifically configured for New Holland CR970 combine compatibility: CR970 Integration:

Proper Mounting: Factory or professional adaptation for CR970 mounting system Hydraulic Compatibility: Appropriate hydraulic connections and requirements Electrical Integration: Compatible control and monitoring systems Optimal Performance: Engineered for CR970's capacity and capabilities Professional Setup: Ready for immediate deployment on CR970 platform

Note: Buyers operating different combine brands should verify compatibility or budget for professional adapter installation. Many professional header shops can adapt headers between combine brands. Refurbished Feeder Drum - Critical Upgrade: The new/refurbished feeder drum represents substantial investment and reliability enhancement: Feeder Drum Importance:

Critical Component: Transfers crop from header to combine feeder house High-Wear Item: Subject to continuous stress and mechanical wear Feeding Efficiency: Proper drum condition ensures smooth, consistent feeding Reduced Downtime: New drum eliminates mid-season failure risk Professional Refurbishment: Demonstrates proper equipment investment and care

Investment Value: Feeder drum replacement/refurbishment typically costs R25,000-50,000+ depending on extent of work, representing substantial recent investment in equipment reliability. Reinforced Mounting Frame - Enhanced Durability: The additional bracing on mounting frame provides important structural enhancement: Frame Reinforcement Benefits:

Increased Strength: Additional support reduces stress and potential failure Extended Lifespan: Reinforcement prevents fatigue and structural issues Improved Reliability: Enhanced structure reduces mid-season breakdown risk Professional Upgrade: Demonstrates understanding of header stress points Heavy-Duty Capability: Better withstands demanding commercial operations

The reinforcement investment indicates professional operation and commitment to equipment longevity. Field-Ready Condition: The stated field-ready status indicates comprehensive preparation: Field-Ready Verification:
