A Case IH 1063 Row Crop Header is a specialised corn harvesting attachment designed to work in conjunction with a combine harvester. Case IH, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment, produces a comprehensive range of headers and harvesting machinery serving grain and row crop operations across North America and beyond. Row crop headers are engineered to efficiently gather and feed corn into the combine's threshing mechanism, and their design directly affects harvest quality and throughput in the field.
This 1989 model is configured with six rows at 30-inch spacing, a standard setup for medium-scale corn operations. The header features water pump style bearings throughout, a specification that supports smooth operation and extended service life under field conditions. The gathering and conveying system includes four poly snouts, which are wear-resistant components that guide crop material into the header throat and protect underlying metal parts from impact and abrasion. The unit is equipped with a corn reel to facilitate the gathering and feeding of standing or down corn into the header mechanism.
The trough—the central channel through which harvested material passes—is reported to be in good condition, an important indicator of structural integrity and operational efficiency. The chains and sprockets, which drive the conveying and reel mechanisms, show approximately 500 acres of documented use, suggesting moderate wear consistent with the machine's age and maintained functionality.
The unit is located in Iowa, USA, and is priced at $4,971.
