Getting on the front foot with harvester fronts

Kondinin Group researchers spent a few weeks inspecting fronts in operation and speaking to owners and operators regarding reliability, maintenance and in-field efficiency with the team currently compiling and analysing the gathered data.

New fronts from John Deere (640X) as well as an updated Vario from Claas, will feature in the report which will also detail the tested performance of the Shelbourne Reynolds stripper front in both barley and wheat crops.

Modifications like the TurboDrum from Esperance, WA farmer Mic Fels will also feature. Many growers are now harvesting canola directly without first windrowing, prompting interest in the range of new extendable deck fronts.
