This Case IH 2020 Platform Header is a cutting platform designed for use with combine harvesters in grain and cereal crop harvesting. Case IH is a leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery serving the farming industry across North America and beyond. The platform header is the front-working component that cuts and conveys crop to the combine's processing system, and proper configuration and maintenance of its cutting and feeding mechanisms are essential to efficient harvest operations.
This unit is equipped with long knives for the cutting bar, providing extended blade coverage across the platform width. The reel features both fore and aft hydraulic positioning, allowing the operator to adjust cutting height and reel speed independently in both directions to accommodate varying crop conditions and ground contours. The reel is fitted with plastic fingers, which are gentler on crop material than steel alternatives and reduce plant damage during the cutting and collection process. A field tracker system is included, which helps maintain consistent header height and angle relative to ground topography during operation, reducing losses and improving cut quality. The platform incorporates a TEFLON plate, a low-friction wear surface that reduces material buildup and improves the flow of cut crop toward the conveyor. Two flashers (warning lights) are mounted on the unit for visibility and safety during road transport and field work.
The header does not feature floating capability, meaning the cutting bar maintains a fixed relationship to the platform frame rather than independently following ground contours. This configuration is suitable for relatively uniform field conditions.
The machine is used and located in Quebec, Canada, and is priced at $11,031.
