A Case IH 2208 Row Crop Header is a specialised cutting platform designed for attachment to combine harvesters. Row crop headers are engineered to harvest crops planted in rows—primarily corn—by cutting stalks and gathering material into the combine's feederhouse. Case IH is a leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery and has built a long reputation for producing reliable harvesting equipment used across North American grain production.
This header is configured as an 8-row unit with 30-inch row spacing, a standard setup for mid-sized farming operations. The machine features hydraulic deck plates, which assist in material flow and processing, and a dual drive system that powers independent gathering mechanisms on each side for improved feeding consistency. An automatic height control system allows the header to maintain optimal cutting height as ground conditions vary, reducing operator input and helping to minimise crop loss. The cutting mechanism includes knife rolls—rotating elements that work with stationary blades to sever stalks cleanly—and the seller confirms that the flighting (the auger or conveyor elements that move cut material toward the center) remains in serviceable condition.
The unit is sold as-is. The seller notes that the hoods—the side panels that contain and direct material flow—require some cosmetic restoration, and the floor pan has damage that will need patching before full operational use. The machine is located in Iowa, USA, and is priced at $9,346.
