John Deere Unveils Next-Gen Combine Front-End Equipment to Boost Harvest Efficiency

OLATHE, Kansas  Farmers need to capture as much crop as possible during harvest and, today, John Deere (NYSE: DE) helped move that progress with the release of new combine headers, including a three-piece hinge draper reel system and a new 18-row corn head with 76.2 cm (30 in) spacing. The new front-end equipment is designed to improve productivity—no matter the crop situation.

"Our goal is to ensure John Deere combines are as productive as possible, and that all starts with the header," said Bergen Nelson, go-to-market manager for harvest equipment. "These headers are built to consistently feed the combine, keeping harvest productive and efficient. We know that how the crop is taken off the field is as important as how the field is left behind and all that starts with the front end."
