Combine guards protect your knife sections and hold-downs while guiding crop cleanly into the cutting system. Worn or damaged guards cause uneven cutting, increased section breakage, and header losses that add up fast across a long harvest season.
We stock combine guards in single and double heat treat, with and without crossbars, for the most popular platforms including Case IH, New Holland, AGCO, and MacDon. All guards are listed with OEM cross-reference numbers so you can match your machine quickly and order with confidence.
Guard Types Available
- Single heat treat — standard duty for most crop conditions
- Double heat treat — extended wear life for abrasive conditions and high-volume cutting
- With crossbar — added support for improved section alignment and reduced wear
- Without crossbar — direct replacement for OEM-style guards
Compatible Platforms
Guards available for Case IH, New Holland, AGCO, MacDon, and more — with OEM part number cross-reference on every listing so you can match your machine without guessing.
Stock Before the Season
Guards are a pre-season replacement item. Inspect your header before harvest, replace anything that's bent, cracked, or worn, and go into the field with a full set of spares on the shelf. A broken guard mid-harvest is a 20-minute fix if you have the part — and a half-day problem if you don't.
