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.
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.
Engineered for Difficult Crop Conditions
When crops are lodged or down, feeding performance matters.
The Raptor’s auger geometry was specifically developed to maintain smooth crop flow where other stripper headers may struggle, helping you stay productive in challenging field 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.
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
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.
