POLY SKID PLATES FOR HEADERS

Poly skid plates protect your combine header and corn head row units from ground contact, rocks, and field debris — taking the wear so your expensive metal components don't have to. Running without skid plates, or running worn-out ones, accelerates damage to row unit frames, gathering chains, and snapping roll housings.

Poly skid plates are lighter than steel, self-lubricating, and highly resistant to abrasion — making them a popular upgrade over OEM steel skids in tough field conditions. They slide over residue and uneven ground more smoothly, reducing drag and protecting the row unit through the entire pass.

Why Poly Over Steel

• Lighter weight reduces header load and fuel consumption
• Self-lubricating surface reduces friction over residue and soil
• High abrasion resistance for extended wear life
• Won't rust or corrode in wet field conditions
• Easy to inspect and replace at the end of the season

When to Replace

• Skid plate is worn thin or cracked through
• Row unit frame is making direct ground contact
• Visible gouging or deformation from rock strikes
• Pre-season inspection before corn harvest

Inspect your skid plates before the season starts and replace anything that's worn through. A set of poly skids is inexpensive insurance against row unit frame damage that costs far more to repair.
