Product Description

Horst Wagons  4‑Wheel Steer Cross‑Country Header Carrier | Models CHCFRF Series | Combine Headers Capacity up to 30–45 ft | Adjustable Wheelbase 18'-30' | Horsepower 80–120 HP | For Tractor

DESCRIPTION

The Horst Wagons CHCFRF Series 4-Wheel Steer Cross-Country Header Carriers are engineered for safe, stable, and precise transport of combine headers across fields and roads. Designed with Four Wheel Steer (4WS), these carriers track directly in the path of the towing vehicle, ensuring perfect cornering and reduced tire scrub. Each model features a fully adjustable top rail to fit almost any combine header, independent suspension for a smoother ride, and brakes on all four wheels for enhanced safety. The retractable tongue allows for quick and easy hook-up, while tapered bearings on kingpins and steering pivots combined with heavy-duty tie rod ends ensure sway-free trailering and long service life. Two large universal adjustable mounting pads and two ratchet straps (positionable independently from the pads) secure the header in place. Quick-release mounting pads slide and lock without tools for fast adjustments. Available in Black, Green, or Red, the CHCFRF series is built for operators who demand precision handling, load security, and durability in their header transport equipment.
