I need to pick up and haul 13ft. header off a K2. What are the proper lift points on it so I dont bend or fold any parts ? They have a loader tractor on their place and my trailer is prob. 30 in high. Chains , straps. rope???
Thanks for help !!

You should be able to put the bottom of the bucket under the lower latches and wrap a chain around the top of the throat opening. I have moved them that way before without damage

Thanks Dan , sounds like that would work fine . I wonder what a 13ft. header weights?

Whether it has a series II wobble box flex sickle or a pitman arm drive with a hart/carter add-on fllex sickle, it will weigh more than a standard pitman rigid sickle. Without viewing my gleaner platform operators manual, I'm guessing 1500lbs for a rigid??

I pick up and move all my heads (Gleaner) & (IH) with my ag crane, I just wrap a chain around/thru the throat opening and lift. be careful if there are any hyd steel lines attached there so you don't crush them.
