Features
Made for the Toughest Situations
The Case IH HDX 2 Sicklebar Hearder uses a counter-stroking action of dual sickles to shear crop cleanly while a unique floating auger keeps the crop moving smoothly.
Cutterbed
- Heavy-duty wobble drives ensure long, trouble-free life
- Bolt-on knife sections are standard for easy replacement
- Overserrated knife sections provide long life and a clean cut
- Double heat-treated range guards provide superior resistance to rock damage
- The cutterbar angle adjusts hydraulically from 6 to 12 degrees below horizontal
- Available stub-on-stub guards penetrate tough, tangled crops
Unique Floating Auger
- Unique floating auger to keep the crop flowing smoothly to the conditioning rolls
- 20 in (508 mm) auger with 5 in (178 mm) flighting
- Auger floats up to 2 in (50.8 mm) to let slugs of material pass underneath without plugging
- Auger slip clutch protects auger and drive system
Skid Shoes
- Skid shoes feature five position adjustments
- Combine this with the hydraulic adjustable header and you can adjust guard angle and cut height from 1.2 – 6.2 in (30.5 – 157 mm)
Available Options for the WD3 and the HDX 2 Series
- In-cab control of reel speed
- In-cab control of windrow width
- Header gauge wheels
- Tall-crop lean bar kit
- Crop dividers
Built to Work in Heavy Crop Conditions
The HDX 2 Series Sicklebar Headers feature a conditioning system that is built to work in heavy crop conditions. Conditioning rolls crimp stems thoroughly for fast dry down. The roll pressure system uses a torsion bar, which allows conditioning rolls to automatically separate to clear slugs and the chevron pattern provides even windrow formation.
Rubber-on-Rubber
Rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls are available on all models for a thorough, gentle cleaning
Steel-on-Steel
Steel-on-steel rolls are available on all models except the HDX122 for tough and versatile for a wide range of demanding crops
Hi-Contact Rolls
Hi-contact rolls are available on all models except the HDX122 for complete crush of plant stem; ideal for legume-type crops
