What is Agricultural Harvester Header?

An agricultural harvester header is a attachment that is mounted on the front of an agricultural harvester, such as a combine, to cut and gather crops. The header cuts the crop and feeds it into the combine, where it is threshed and separated from the chaff. There are different types of headers that are used for different crops. For example, a header for cutting small grains such as wheat or barley will be different from a header for cutting a row crop such as corn. Some headers are designed to cut the entire plant, while others only cut the heads of the plant. Additionally, headers can be either rigid or flexible, each with its own benefits depending on the crop and field conditions.
