We look at why locally manufactured and designed Midwest fronts built here are now the first choice for progressive growers
Midwest Fabrication, makers of the ground-breaking 18.3m (60-ft) Legacy Front, has a swath of growers lining up to update their harvesting front for next season.
Midwest was already a local pioneer in harvest front design and manufacture, and has solidified that position by producing the widest and most efficient fronts available.
The Legacy front has gone on to be the pinnacle for harvesting efficiency by increasing capacity with every run and with a build that effectively minimises downtime. Read about the Legacy product launch here.
Midwest’s Legacy has been launched at a time when most farm operations are looking to increase their harvest, and with the overall additional coverage the Legacy offers, operators can now cover more ground in less time.
The Midwest Legacy has gained a solid reputation for improved performance, and as a result growers are also seeing lower operating costs due to fewer mechanical issues, from its durable design.
These are the reasons business-savvy growers are making the switch to a Midwest Draper Platform.
Costs are lowered
With a Midwest front, comes lower ongoing operational costs, a longer lifespan, and reduced crop loss. Ticking these boxes for a farm operation leads to higher profit margins and less hassle.
Old gear is costly to run
An old harvest platform could be costing you more than it’s worth. It will be using more fuel, there will be more downtime, and more crop left behind, all biting into hard earned profit.
One of the most common reactions after a Midwest upgrade, is “I wish I’d done it sooner.”
Midwest Advantage
Midwest Draper Platforms are designed and built right here in Australia by a team that understands how unpredictable each season can be.
These platforms are built to thrive in tough conditions and to last longer, keeping up their leading performance season after season.
