The John Deere RD45F Platform Header is a flexible draper header designed for use with John Deere X9 combines. Platform headers are the cutting and gathering mechanism at the front of a combine harvester, responsible for cutting standing crop and conveying it toward the combine's main processing unit. John Deere is a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery, serving grain and forage producers worldwide with harvesters, headers, and related equipment.
This RD45F unit is configured as a flexible draper header, meaning it uses a belt-driven auger system to gather and move cut crop material toward the combine. The header comes equipped with top cross augers that aid in material flow, and cleated center belts that provide additional grip and transport efficiency. It features header height sensing technology in ridged mode, using four sensing elements (referred to as "hockey sticks" in the seller's description) to automatically maintain optimal cutting height and follow ground contour.
The machine is fitted with increased cut height skid shoes, which raise the cutting platform and reduce the risk of gathering dirt and foreign material during harvest. This configuration is particularly useful in uneven or stubble-heavy fields. A complete seal kit is included, supporting proper maintenance and operation of the header's auger and drive systems.
The unit is 2022 model year, used condition, and is located in Alberta, Canada. The price is $105,703.
