I have sold them and used them. You only will get that kind of savings if you are in 200 bushel plus corn and want to run 6 MPH or more. Even then it is only if you do not have your CIH/ JD corn head adjusted correctly.
I was at a Drago dealer intro 5-6 years ago. They had JD and CIH corn heads on machines running with Drago heads right next to them. You could see a big difference with the Drago doing a better job. The Drago area rep got all PO at me when I climbed up in the JD 9670 and adjusted the stripper plates/roll speed correctly and the JD head did just as good of job as the Drago. They had deliberately set the plates too wide so the JD head was leaving more corn. When it was set right the only advantage the Drago head had was it shredded the stalks. That option is not available on JD heads at that time is is now. I am sure they where setting the CIH corn head to have a loss too. The later series CIH heads are real similar to the JD heads and they work fine.
You can't justify the cost if you have your corn head adjusted correctly.
