Just finished our second season with a C12F corn head. It’s a great head, and has some really nice improvements over the 712FC it replaced. Little bit better vision folded and the end shields don’t need put back down to fold the head. On the 712 I had to get out, clean debris out from where the shields slide in and out, and then get back in and fold. And get out again to put them back up. The integrated roll cones are nice too. I believe it folds faster too.

I grew up on a family farm in the 70s and 80s. We ran about 800 acres or so, which was a good sized operation for our area back then. We would've never even dreamed of running enough ground to need equipment like this. I still live in the area where I grew up but, unfortunately, not on the same land. I don't farm myself but, I have several friends that do and I help them when they need it. It never ceases to amaze me how, even in my area, the size of farms and, the technology that is used on them has changed over the years. When I was coming up, our "big" tractor was a 7080 Allis Chalmers with 180 horsepower. These days, my buddies run rigs with 3x that power and they more or less drive themselves!
