4420 header cart height

lockrotor · Dec 16, 2013

Does anyone know how high a 4420 JD will lift the 213 flex head off the ground? Forgot to measure mine before taking off and putting away for winter. Want to make a header cart. With the wagon frame and tubing, it would be about 28" off the ground at the low end. This seams to high for the head to be lifted?

I'am kinda guessing from memory,but my 4420 had 23.1-26 drives with 11.00-16s on steering and lacked 7 or 8 inches from going on any factory wagon.i don't think my bottom saddles were over 12-14 inches high and you still had to watch where you parked it or it was too high.Had 570-8 tires on it and the saddles were even or below the tops of the tires.Not a good answer but maybe it will help some,had 216 black reel with Contour Master.

Correction,Dial A Matic not Contour Master.

A boat trailer would be lower height than a wagon running gear. You can often get an old 16 to 18 foot fiberglass boat with a trailer for free if you agree to pay for disposal of the boat. What does the 213 header weigh, about a ton?
