A John Deere 712FC Row Crop Header is a mechanical harvesting attachment designed to cut and gather row crops—principally corn—during harvest. Row crop headers are front-mounted or pull-type cutting platforms that work in conjunction with a combine harvester to remove ears or whole plants from the field. John Deere is a globally recognized manufacturer of agricultural machinery, serving crop producers across grain and forage operations.
This 2020 model is equipped with a 12-row, 30-inch row spacing configuration in folding design, allowing for compact transport and storage. The header features a stalkmaster chopping system for processing crop residue, dual knife rolls for precise cutting action, and hydraulically controlled deck plates for improved material flow and feeding into the combine. A PTO telescoping drive accommodates 50/60/70 and S-series combines, providing compatibility across multiple harvester models. Single-point hydraulic hookup simplifies attachment and disconnection.
The unit is outfitted with Contour Master sensors, which automatically adjust cutting height to follow ground contours and maintain consistent stubble length. AutoTrac Row Sense sensors enable precise row guidance during operation. Additional features include stubble lights for low-light harvesting visibility and NDY stalk stompers to manage crop residue after cutting.
The header is a single-owner machine, maintained in excellent condition throughout its service life. It has been consistently cleaned after each harvest and stored indoors when not in use, practices that have preserved its mechanical and structural integrity. The machine is located in Minnesota, USA, and is priced at $146,800.
