Midwest Fabrication set the standard for harvest efficiency last season with their award winning 18.2m LEGACY front
Every harvest season presents new challenges for grain growers, there is unpredictable weather to contend with, fluctuating commodity prices, and the ongoing demand to ensure the harvest operation is running efficiency.
To get the most from each pass in the paddock, having the right front can make all the difference. And that’s where Midwest shines brighter than other draper fronts on in our local market
Midwest delivers the only innovative Australian-made harvest platforms designed to help growers increase yields while lowering operational costs and time, leading to higher profits.
Engineered for Australian conditions
Midwest Fabrication stand out as the leading Australian-owned and operated harvester platform manufacturer. Engineers at the company have spent years refining its draper fronts to meet the critical demands of our unique farming conditions.
Designed to handle the toughest conditions, from the vast wheatbelt regions of Western Australia to the diverse crops and terrains of the eastern states, Midwest’s range of draper fronts are engineered to meet the demands of all farm operations seeking durability, precision, and productivity.
Reduce costs without compromise
Growers are well aware that after all the input costs to achieve a crop, harvesting efficiency then directly impacts their profitability.
Midwest’s DURUS and LEGACY draper platforms are designed to integrate seamlessly with all major combine brands, allowing for a smoother harvest and lower operational costs.
With working widths ranging from 9.1 to 18.3m (30 to 60ft), the advanced engineering of a Midwest front minimises grain loss and optimises performance.
Growers who have adopted Midwest’s technology report a 20% lower operating cost saving, making a substantial impact on saving costs over the long term.
Innovations that make the difference
Midwest continues to invest in innovation, working closely with growers to refine and enhance its designs.
Improved functions that kick in for operators include ground following via a unique pivot ball, added to that is the advanced draper belt technology, all secured through reinforced frame structures.
The strong build and design advantages of Midwest draper fronts make them adaptable to varying crop types, including cereals, canola, and pulses.
The innovation behind Midwest draper fronts begins before operators even reach the paddock
Midwest has developed a service app with how-to videos to show operators how to keep downtime at a minimum and provide fast support when you need it most.
The new Midwest online parts website ensures operators have spare parts on hand at any time, with the click of a button.
Avoid the cost of falling behind
Choosing a front that is not completely adaptable of designed for our local conditions can have serious consequences at harvest.
Poorly designed fronts can slow down harvest times, leading to missed opportunities, greater exposure to weather risks, and potential yield losses.
Midwest engineers are aware of these issues associated with imported fronts, and that’s why they embarked on a mission to develop a front that worked best for local growers.
And the same is relevant to growers using outdated or inefficient platforms as they too often struggle with excessive grain loss, inconsistent crop flow, and increased fuel and maintenance costs. All leading to extended downtime.
