Harvest Smarter. Seed Better.

Harvest isn’t just about getting grain into the tank—it’s about setting the stage for next year’s crop.

By stripping grain from standing straw instead of feeding the entire plant through the combine, the K-Hart Raptor helps preserve residue, improve moisture retention, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize wear on your harvesting equipment.

Designed and manufactured in Canada, the Raptor combines proven stripper header performance with innovative engineering improvements that make ownership easier season after season.

Patented Finger Section Replacement

Routine maintenance shouldn’t stop your harvest.

K-Hart’s patented keyslot finger system allows damaged finger sections to be replaced in minutes without removing bolts or realigning components. Captured hardware means fewer lost parts and faster repairs during the busiest time of year.

Continuous In-Cab Rotor Speed Control

Adjust rotor speed without leaving the cab.

The hydraulically controlled CVT system provides continuously variable rotor speeds from 425–750 RPM, allowing operators to respond instantly to changing crop conditions—no tools or sprocket changes required.

Engineered for difficult crop conditions

The Raptor kept operating in conditions that repeatedly stopped competing headers.

When crops are lodged or down, feeding performance matters.

The Raptor’s auger was specifically developed to maintain smooth crop flow where other stripper headers may struggle, helping you stay productive in challenging field conditions.

Independent Dual Drive System

Purpose-built for long harvest days.

Separate rotor and auger drive systems reduce heat, improve reliability, and deliver more consistent performance throughout demanding harvest conditions.

Three-Section Serviceable Design

Replace only what’s damaged.

Instead of replacing large assemblies, the Raptor’s hood, frame, and deflector are divided into independent sections. Repairs become quicker, less expensive, and easier to transport and install.

Quick Gauge Wheel Adjustment

Simple adjustments keep harvest moving.

Large, easy-to-read indicators make gauge wheel settings quick to adjust and easy to verify directly from the combine cab.

See The Difference

A side-by-side comparison of the Raptor (left) and a conventional draper header (right) shows the difference after harvest.

The Raptor leaves wheat stalks and residue standing to retain moisture, capture snow, suppress weeds, and reduce soil erosion, while the draper cuts the crop close to the ground.

Why Growers Choose the Raptor

Instead of asking operators to compromise between performance and maintenance, the Raptor was designed to improve both.

Harvest More Acres

Reduced material entering the combine means higher productivity and increased harvesting capacity under the right conditions.

Reduce Fuel Consumption

Processing only the grain heads instead of the entire crop lowers horsepower requirements and helps reduce fuel usage.

Less Combine Wear

With less crop material moving through the machine, wear on threshing and separating components is significantly reduced.

Preserve Valuable Residue

Standing straw improves snow capture, protects soil, conserves moisture, and creates excellent conditions for low-disturbance seeding systems.

Built to stay in the field

The K-Hart Raptor was engineered to maximize uptime with service-friendly components, simplified maintenance, and innovative features that reduce downtime throughout the season.

Every hour spent repairing equipment is an hour you’re not harvesting.

ENGINEERED FOR OWNERSHIP

Designed Around Real Harvest Challenges

Q: What is a stripper header?

A stripper header removes the grain heads while leaving most of the standing straw in the field. This reduces the amount of crop material entering the combine, lowering fuel consumption and machine wear while preserving valuable crop residue.

Q: What crops can the Raptor harvest?

The Raptor is designed primarily for cereals, flax, grasses, and certain forage crops.

Q: What combine models is the Raptor compatible with?

The Raptor is designed for Class 8 and Class 9 combines. Contact Red E to discuss compatibility with your specific machine.

Q: What makes the Raptor different?

Its patented finger replacement system, in-cab variable rotor speed, independent drive system, and serviceable three-section construction help reduce downtime while improving the ownership experience.

Q: Where is the Raptor manufactured?

The Raptor is designed and manufactured in Manitoba, Canada.

The Raptor doesn’t reinvent stripper harvesting—it improves the ownership experience.

From faster service procedures to improved machine balance and better parts accessibility, every engineering decision was made to reduce maintenance and maximize uptime during harvest.

Faster maintenance
Cooler-running driveline
Better machine balance
