It seems like if a company does a good job building headers, then they would also support CHIS standards, as it would expand their market oppootunity to more machines. There are already standards that make it convenient to attach implements to various tractors 3 point hitch and PTOs. Also SAE standards exist so that any semi tractor can hook onto any semi trailer via the 5th wheel hitch. SkidSteer attachment interface has been standardized recently. That standard basically creates a standard picture frame and pin retention, similar to our CHIS proposal. All of these type of standards improve safety and convenience, while also giving farmers more purchasing options and improving competition. Doing the same for Combine Header Interface Standards (CHIS) just makes sense. But it will take a coalition of farmers asking for this and supporting this to get the majors to move on it. I can also show them an improvement in reliability via the centerline drive while also reducing component overall cost since drive lines would not have to be run all the way out to the end of the headers. Granted, it is a tough challenge pursuading them to work together toward this goal. It has to come from the grass roots and farmer organizations.
