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

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
