The Horst Wagons 36' and 45' 4WS Swather Draper Header Carriers are engineered for superior maneuverability and safe transport of combine headers in challenging agricultural conditions. Their advanced four-wheel steering system enables precise tracking behind the tractor, reducing transport risks and improving handling on uneven or narrow routes.

Both models come equipped with adjustable top rails for customizable fit, double spring balancers that absorb shocks and reduce header stress during transit, and tool-free universal mount brackets designed for quick, flexible installation.
