A Case IH 2162 Platform Header is a grain platform attachment designed for use with combine harvesters in cereal and grain crop operations. Case IH is a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery serving the harvesting and crop production industries worldwide. Platform headers, also called grain tables, are the cutting and gathering mechanism of a combine system, responsible for severing crop stalks and conveying the cut grain toward the combine's processing chamber.
This 2009 model features a working width of 40 feet, providing substantial ground coverage per pass during harvest operations. The header is built on a flexible frame design, which allows the platform to follow ground contours more effectively and maintain consistent cutting height across variable terrain. The grain drive operates via belt transmission, a standard and reliable method for transferring power from the combine engine to the platform's gathering mechanisms. The reel, which lifts and feeds cut crop material into the header, is equipped with plastic fingers rather than steel, a configuration that can reduce crop damage on more delicate plant material.
The platform incorporates hydraulic fore and aft adjustment capability, enabling the operator to modify the reel's position and angle relative to the cutting mechanism during operation. This allows fine-tuning of performance in response to varying crop conditions and plant density.
The machine is located in Quebec, Canada, and is offered at $54,085 USD. Financing options are available through the seller.
