A Case IH 3016 Forage Header is a pickup-style combine header designed for harvesting forage crops. Case IH manufactures a comprehensive range of agricultural machinery serving grain and forage producers worldwide. This 15-foot header is engineered to work with compatible CNH combine platforms and handles the cutting and collection of standing or windrowed forage material.
The unit is equipped with a Swathmaster pickup mechanism, which gathers cut or fallen crop material from the ground into the header's throat. The cutting width is 15 feet, providing moderate productivity for mid-size operations. Power is supplied via a 540 PTO (Power Take-Off) drive, a standard input for most combines of this class. The header uses a three-belt configuration to transfer power and drive internal components. Caster gauge wheels are fitted to maintain consistent cutting height and flotation over variable ground, while the mechanical flotation system allows the header to follow ground contours and reduce operator workload during harvest.
This machine is designed to fit newer-style CNH combines, ensuring compatibility with current-generation Case IH and New Holland combine platforms. The header dates to 2013 and is offered in used condition. Stock number 072 is on file.
