A Case IH 3016 Forage Header is a pickup-style combine header designed for integration with compatible combine harvesters. Case IH manufactures a comprehensive range of agricultural machinery including combines, headers, and related harvest equipment that serve grain and forage operations across North America and beyond.
This 15-foot header is equipped with a Swathmaster pickup mechanism, which gathers cut crop material from the ground into the header for processing. The machine operates via a 540 PTO (power take-off) drive shaft, a standard power interface on most agricultural equipment. The pickup is driven by a three-belt system, which transfers power from the PTO to the rotating pickup mechanism. The header features caster gauge wheels to help maintain consistent ground contact and cutting height, and employs mechanical flotation to allow the machine to follow terrain variations without operator adjustment. This unit is designed to fit newer-style Case IH / CNH combine platforms.
This 2013 used example is located in Alberta, Canada, and is offered at $12,047. The machine is suitable for hay, silage, and forage production operations where ground pickup of previously cut and windrowed material is required.
