Down crops vary widely, because the effects of nature differ greatly. Despite the successful cultivation of new varieties and the use of new growing Down maize methods, it will never be possible to overcome the problem of down crops. This is why we have equipped the header with standard design features and technical solutions, which allow contractors to offer a machine which can deal with any situation.
