Case IH Bolsters Its Draper Head Lineup With 3100 Series II Models

New models provide more durability and increased reliability to help producers harvest more of what they grow

Case IH is upgrading its header series with the new 3100 Series II rigid and flex draper headers. Featuring 118 product enhancements since the original 3100 Series draper header introduction, these new improvements deliver improved durability, increased reliability and unmatched harvest performance and ground-following capabilities.  
 
“Case IH draper heads allow you to harvest more of what you grow. With superior crop feeding and less susceptibility to crop moisture, harvest efficiency is improved and producers can harvest more acres per day,” said Ryan Blasiak, Case IH harvesting marketing manager.  
 
With models from 30 to 45 feet, the latest updates to the Case IH 3100 Series II draper head design improvements enhance reliability and durability at harvest. Features such as the cam action reel, CentraCut™ Knife Drive and narrow end dividers allow you to put more grain in the tank. The Case IH 3162 Series II TerraFlex™ headers feature a truly flexible cutterbar and new airbag suspension in the center section. Plus, cast flex arms with cutouts prevent material buildup to increase uptime.

Video: Not only is corn getting sweatier, it's getting smarter


Over the past several weeks, much of the U.S. Midwest has experienced prolonged episodes of extreme heat, a trend also observed in other major corn-producing regions of North America such as eastern South Dakota, southern Ontario, and parts of Kansas and Missouri. These high-temperature events can place significant physiological stress on maize (Zea mays L.), which is cultivated on approximately 90 million acres across the United States, with leading production in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, and Minnesota. Like all maize, Bayer’s PRECEON™ Smart Corn System is subject to transpiration-driven water loss under high heat. However, this system incorporates agronomic traits designed to improve standability through enhanced stalk strength, thereby reducing lodging risk during stress conditions. Furthermore, the system supports precision agriculture practices by enabling more targeted fertilizer and crop protection applications. This approach not only helps to optimize input efficiency but also contributes to maintaining or increasing yield potential under variable environmental stresses such as heat waves, which are becoming more frequent in corn belt and fringe production regions.
