INSIDE X9 - Header | John Deere

A new range of Hinge Draper headers have been developed to maximize the huge capacity of the X9. Featuring several innovations, they follow the ground like no other, catching every grain and reducing tillage costs. The hinging mechanism, with wings acting like two smaller headers, is engineered with a virtual pivot point. This maintains a consistent distance between the reel and the cutter bar, whatever the angle. The extra wide grainsaver Draper belts have a patented ridge pattern design that prevents small grains from rolling off the belt and into the field. Crop convert is easy, too less than three minutes for a single person to install mechanically driven side knives without the need for tools. The reel can also be raised over a meter to greatly reduce shatter losses in tall, fluffy crops. With the fully fingered top auger further assisting feeding.
