Header Buying Guide

A harvester’s header is the part at the front of the harvester that collects up the crops. Obviously, different crops require different headers, so finding the right one for your needs is crucial. If you’re having trouble shopping for harvester headers, this guide from the experts at Central Machinery Sales can help. 

Assess Your Needs

As with any agricultural equipment purchase, your first step when shopping for harvester headers is to assess your needs. What kind of crop are you going to harvest, how much of that crop will need to be harvested, and what other specific features/capabilities will be required? Once you have an answer to these questions, you’ll be able to find a header that works for you.

Research Different Brands and Models

Obviously, more than one brand manufactures harvester headers. While in most cases you’ll want to match your header brand with your harvester brand, you should still do some research into the various brands and their reputation when it comes to quality, ease of use, and reliability. Once you have a better understanding of your options, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision.
