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

Feb 14, 2019

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: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
