Olimac’s DRAGO 2 has been named a winner of the 2019 EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award (HRVA). The award recognizes manufacturers in 30 equipment categories \u2013 spanning the construction, agricultural and lift\/access manufacturing sectors \u2013 for products projected to retain the highest percentage of its original value after a five-year period based on data sourced from 70 resale platforms.<\/p>\n
The DRAGO 2 took top honors in the corn header category. This is the second year corn headers have been included in the HRVA program since it began in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe value retention of the DRAGO 2 proves few equipment purchases deliver a return on investment like Olimac corn heads,\u201d says Tom Shafer Dragotec USA vice president of sales. \u201cIn today\u2019s tough ag economic environment, we recognize residual value has a significant impact on ROI. That\u2019s why we, and our dealers, are dedicated to delivering the highest-quality, best performing corn heads in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
EquipmentWatch, a global leader in data software and insights for the heavy equipment industry, selected HRVA winners using an extensive market activity analysis.<\/p>\n
For each of the 30 award categories, the most popular equipment observed on the resale channel in 2018 were sorted by their relative popularity. Any series without a model currently in production were removed. Only equipment series with at least one model contained in the EquipmentWatch Residual Values application were considered.<\/p>\n
Once the top finalists were selected, residual values were calculated at the series level by leveraging the EquipmentWatch market activity database. The series with the highest five-year estimate was identified as the category winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honored to be named this year\u2019s winner in the corn header category,\u201d Shafer adds. \u201cThe award demonstrates the long-term value of investing in Drago corn heads and acknowledges the durability and superior performance of the DRAGO 2.\u201d<\/p>\n
