Case IH engineers have worked long and hard to minimise every possibility of seed loss at the header. The effective design of the poly crop end dividers gently presents the most down and tangled crop to the reel and cutterbar while positively following ground terrain. Reel options include plastic tines, recommended for most crop types and conditions, or steel tines, for demanding work such as thick, tough and laid crop. With the reel design and gentle crop engagement of the six bar reel, effective feeding and cutting, resulting in increased crop quantity and quality, are guaranteed.

Smooth, even crop feeding is guaranteed by the stainless steel auger floor, while the profile from the cutterbar to the auger floor is designed to ease the flow of crop into the auger trough. The auger is protected by a slip clutch and is driven by a heavy duty drive chain to ensure long life and positive drive even in tough crop conditions. It gently conveys the crop from cutterbar to the feeder, while an integrated grain saver prevents valuable crop from falling back to the field.

To follow ground contours as closely as possible and capture the best crop quality without soil contamination, the header features a wide range of adjustable elements. The cutterbar incorporates a fully adjustable suspension system designed to follow constantly changing ground contours in the most adverse harvesting conditions. It’s the key to full harvesting efficiency in every soil type, from soft to hard, dry or muddy. As an option, the TerraFlex torsion block - the heart of the header - can be controlled from the operator’s seat to adapt to field conditions. The skid shoes are designed to float softly on the ground, even in soft soil conditions. The Flex header can be used in rigid mode to harvest other cereal crops.
