DESCRIPTION
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. The SHCF36 model features a 36-foot top rail suitable for headers up to 35 feet, while the SHCF45 extends support to headers as large as 45 feet, accommodating a wide range of equipment sizes. 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. Built with tapered roller bearings and heavy-duty tie rod ends, these carriers maintain stability and durability over prolonged use, even under heavy loads. Designed for tractors with 80 HP, they are compatible exclusively with Agco, Challenger, Hesston, MacDon, and Massey Ferguson headers, ensuring optimal integration. Ideal for professional agricultural operations, these carriers combine precision engineering and robust construction to optimize header handling, transport safety, and operational efficiency across diverse farming environments.
