Electrical Conversion Kit For Deere Flex Headers
The kit allows for the electrical conversion of a 2000 or newer Deere 600 or 900 F series header to operate on 1999 or older Deere machines. The kit can also be used to run a Deere flex head on Case IH, New Holland, and Agco combines.
The kit includes a header connection, control box, cab control cable, in-cab pressure indicator, and a polarity reverser for the header height sensors.
"The Deere 600 and 900 flex heads are very popular, and there are a lot of them out there available at a reasonable cost," says Craig Langhofer. "The conversion takes less than 15 minutes to install. The kit lets you take advantage of the Dial-A-Matic feature on these headers, which allows you to dial in the desired height control. Deere flex headers are equipped with a hydraulic cylinder on each skid plate, and Dial-A-Matic lets you automatically adjust head down pressure depending on the ground conditions. It doesn't matter whether you operate in soft or muddy ground, you can cut at the same height no matter how soft or hard the ground is."
The kits wire the Deere header into existing combine controls. Sells for $545 for the 600 flex head and $450 for the 900 head.
