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.
