[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 3512618, member: 44728"] DS was New Hollands own invention, not mine. They came to me in 2013 and asked if I would like to be involved with testing one of 4 prototypes. My 25ft on a CX6080 mid range, two 30ft headers fitted on CR machines working in Germany and another 30ft working on a Case AFX in Kent. Because the project was nearly scrapped in 2014, due to the invention of the 41 ft (12 metre) header which could only be used with tracked combines, the project designer and leader modified our prototype by removing the central Rollers to see if the system would still work. It did. But ours was the only prototype working in 2014. In 2015 New Holland started to build production models and offered me our prototype for scrap value. There were several problems with our prototype, because it was originally designed to have full width frame and rollers. So I had to modify our model to make it properly lift into transport position and lower into work correctly. Production model lifting systems are quite different from my prototype, because they were specifically designed for a DS with no central Rollers. At the same time, I also showed NH that DS would fit on a slightly modified conventional Header trailer. [/QUOTE]
