I'm thinking about trading for a used Drago corn head. Any suggestions on what to look for.

What are the pros and cons of these heads and is there anything I should know before trading.

We had a Drago folding series 2. To say we were disappointed with it is a huge understatement. An ear would get caught at front of stripper plates, & 1/3 of the time reversing the head would not get them out. Not fun have to get out of combine a bunch of times each day to remove an ear of corn. Ran the head 2 years & got $70,000 less than we paid for it. Plus all the repairs & down time.
