Lifting Combine Headers On A Trailer

[OrcaAmity]

How do I lift a 45-foot combine header onto a trailer? Do I have to buy one of those lumber cranes and use one of those? Thanks.

Usually you just set them on the header trailer with the combine, but the 45ft header has a built in trailer. All you have to do is select the front attachment and the unfold it, disconnect it from the combine then hook up to the hitch.

Thanks for letting me know. I wondered what that long thing was on the left-hand side. I thought the wheels under it were as a stand when I want to detach it. I reversed my tractor behind the long bit on the left-hand side and I was able to attach it and tow it to my farm. Thanks again.

Haha yeah no problem, and just so you know you can hook the header up behind the combine too, then you don't need to have a tractor there to tow it.

That's what nice about that the combine has a hitch, is to pull the header. No truck, no tractor, no nothing, all in one shot. And if you are alone, that built-in head trailer makes it much easier.
