Types of Headers and What They’re Used For

23 Mar.,2024

 

Your job doesn’t end once you’ve had your new (or used) combine harvester shipped to the farm; you’ll also need to determine which type of header attachment is best for the job you’ve got in mind. If you choose the wrong header, you could experience unwanted hiccups during the harvesting season; you may even see a reduced grain quality and yield, which has a knock-on effect on your profits (and nobody wants that!).

Headers are available in a myriad of shapes and sizes, often with specialized purposes. It can be easy to identify the right type of header if you look at how the original equipment manufacturer segments the products available for purchase, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also get confusing. Plus, with the right transport company, (like Tractor Transport) header transport services are easy! Below, we’ve taken the time to introduce you to the most commonly used combine headers and which crops they’re most suited to. As a quick introduction, these are the header types we’ll be discussing in a little more detail:

  • Corn headers

  • Draper headers

  • Grain headers

  • Auger headers

  • Flex headers

  • Pick-up headers

  • Sunflower headers
