I remember seeing one of those working around 1988. Maybe it was a 118??

It was absolutely flying along in a good crop of wheat.

I always thought they had a very solid looking cab .

The dominator 116 was made from about 82 to 85, mine was one of the last with thenew type header, before that they were 19ft with more out the right side than left
After 85 they became the commander 116 with the new cab then the commander 228 about 93 when the mega range came out

Local big farming outfit had 4 of them in the early 80’s with offset 19 foot headers. An awesome sight to a schoolboy with all 4 going at once. Regularly caught fire so was always a water cart in the same field.

The first 30ft header in the uk was fitted to a commander 228 in 94

The v6 turbos were bad for that

The commander was sold in america with full length rubber tracks. Very interesting looking machine.

Fairly recent. Corn head. CAT 65 Tracks.

I think they were fairly good on corn having the 7 drums. Straw walkers a waste of time for corn.
