A Case IH 1020 Platform Header is a grain and forage cutting platform designed to mount on a combine harvester. Case IH is a leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery, and platform headers represent a core component of their harvest equipment lineup, used across North American grain and hay operations.
This unit features an 18-foot cutting width, making it suitable for mid-scale field operations. The header is equipped with a flex cutter bar and single knife drive system paired with a 1½ sickle configuration, which together provide efficient cutting action across the platform width. The gathering mechanism uses a tear drop poly tine reel with hydraulic fore and aft capability, allowing the operator to adjust reel speed and position to match crop conditions and ground speed. Poly pads are fitted to reduce crop damage and wear. Auto height sensors are included to maintain consistent cutting height across variable terrain.
The platform incorporates a tele-drive system, which transmits ground-driven power to the header's cutting and gathering mechanisms, reducing the hydraulic load on the combine and improving overall efficiency. The header is noted as a one-owner unit with low accumulated acres, indicating minimal wear and regular maintenance history. This 1989 machine is in used condition.
