A Case IH Platform Header is a combine harvester cutting head designed to gather and feed crop material into a combine machine. Platform headers are essential components in grain and pulse harvesting operations, engineered to work with compatible combine chassis to deliver efficient cutting and gathering performance across large acreage. Case IH is a major global manufacturer of agricultural machinery serving grain and livestock producers.
This is a 2007 Case IH 2042 Platform Header with a 36-foot cutting width, making it suitable for covering significant ground during harvest operations. The unit is equipped with a draper header configuration, which uses a conveyor belt system to move cut crop material toward the feederhouse. The machine features a split reel design for improved crop flow and gathering control, and incorporates a double knife drive system for reliable cutting operation across varying crop conditions. Hydraulic fore and aft controls allow the operator to adjust the header's position and angle relative to ground contour and crop stand. The header is rated for 540 PTO (power take-off) shaft operation, the standard interface for connecting to compatible combine machines. According to the seller, this model is functionally equivalent to the MacDon 973 header. The unit is used and located in Alberta, Canada. The asking price is $13,580.
