Subject: RE: Need to see some pictures of home made header carts



Panhandle of Texas

I will try and take a few pics of mine.  It's about 10 miles away from the house, but I need to go and get it anyway.   It is nothing special, and I welded it up fairly quick, but part of it will fold down, and that feature is really nice...I can haul either a regular header (mine is a 930R) or a row head (up to a 1253A) with nothing more than a trip of a couple of levers/pivot points.

The tires on it are standard width, and not like the narrow ones you see. . and yeah, the tongue is long~  nothing all that special, but I like being able to carry both of my heads (not at the same time) with the same trailer.  I used a pre-fabbed chassis, but brewed up the rest myself.  Mine kinda resembles Rich's in the way it is tilted---then basically, mine un-tilts when you want to carry a row head.

Mine needs painted!  The thing I don't care for on mine is that it tends to road walk (when loaded), when a person gets over about 35 mph.  It's really ok, though.... I never intended on having this trailer make long hauls anyway.  I really should mount a hitch on the back of the combine, then road walking would never be an issue.  The road walking has to do with the extra long tongue, but it's gotta be that way. . .
