Available in Bowman, North Dakota, this 2001 John Deere 1293 corn head for sale is a 12-row, 30-inch non-chopping corn head priced at $19,500. The seller reports that the head received a complete reconditioning and has harvested only approximately 105 acres since that work was completed. It is described as being in excellent condition, has been shedded when not in use, and is represented by the seller as field ready.

For an operation looking for a full-width John Deere corn head without moving into the cost of a newer chopping head, this 1293 combines a proven 12-row configuration with hydraulic deck plates, automatic height control, poly snouts, telescoping drive, single-point hydraulics, dual PTO shafts, and an oil-bath drive system.

John Deere 1293 12-Row Corn Head

The John Deere 1293 is built around a 12-row configuration with 30-inch row spacing, providing a nominal 30-foot harvesting swath for farms running standard 30-inch corn rows.

This particular head is configured as a non-chopping corn head, making it well suited for operators who want conventional corn-head residue management rather than an integrated chopping system.

The seller reports that the head is currently field ready and has seen only about 105 harvested acres since its complete reconditioning.

Only 105 Acres Since Complete Reconditioning

One of the strongest points of this 2001 John Deere 1293 is its seller-reported recent operating history.

According to the seller, the corn head underwent a total reconditioning, and only approximately 105 acres have been harvested with it since the reconditioning was completed.

That is important information for buyers comparing older 12-row corn heads. Rather than evaluating the head strictly by model year, prospective buyers can consider the relatively limited acreage accumulated since the reported reconditioning.

The seller has not supplied a component-by-component list of everything replaced or rebuilt during the reconditioning, so buyers should request those details and inspect the head to verify its current condition.

Hydraulic Deck Plates and Automatic Height Control

This 1293 is equipped with hydraulic deck plates, allowing the operator to adjust deck-plate spacing hydraulically rather than relying solely on manual adjustment.

Adjustable deck plates can be especially useful when moving between varying stalk sizes, crop conditions, hybrids, or fields throughout harvest.

The head also features automatic height control, helping the combine maintain the selected operating height as field conditions change.

For operations covering significant acreage during a short harvest window, these features can reduce the amount of manual adjustment required from the operator.

Single-Point Hydraulics and Telescoping Drive

The seller lists this John Deere corn head with a single-point hydraulic connection, providing a cleaner and more convenient connection arrangement when matched to an appropriately equipped combine.

A telescoping drive system and dual PTO shafts are also included in the listed configuration.

Because combine feederhouse arrangements, electrical connections, hydraulic couplers, and driveline requirements can vary by machine and conversion package, buyers should confirm exact compatibility with their combine before purchase.

Poly Snouts and Oil-Bath Drive

The head is equipped with poly snouts, which are commonly preferred for their smooth crop guidance, lower susceptibility to visible denting compared with older steel snouts, and practical serviceability.

The seller also lists an oil-bath drive system.

Combined with the hydraulic deck plates, automatic height control, and dual-drive configuration, this 1293 offers many of the features buyers continue to look for in later-model 90 Series John Deere corn heads.

Harvest Lighting and Visibility

Additional equipment includes:

• Stubble lights
• Warning lights
• Automatic height control
• Poly snouts

These features add practical usefulness during long harvest days and after-dark operation.

Seller-Reported Combine Compatibility

The seller reports that this John Deere 1293 can be configured to fit several generations of John Deere combines, including:

• John Deere 50 Series
• John Deere 10 Series
• John Deere 00 Series
• John Deere STS 60 Series
• John Deere STS 70 Series
• John Deere S Series with the appropriate conversion kit

Exact fitment should be verified for the buyer's specific combine model, feederhouse, electrical system, hydraulic connection, driveline configuration, and any required conversion components.

Shedded and Seller-Reported Excellent Condition

The seller describes this corn head as being in excellent condition and states that it has been shedded at all times when not in use.

Indoor storage can be an important consideration on harvesting equipment, particularly around gathering components, chains, bearings, hydraulic components, electrical connections, poly components, and exposed metal.

Combined with only approximately 105 acres of reported use following its reconditioning, the storage history helps distinguish this head from many older 1293 units that have accumulated considerably more field use since their last major service.

A Practical 12-Row Head for 30-Inch Corn

This head may be a strong fit for farms looking to:

• Maintain a 12-row harvest setup
• Harvest standard 30-inch corn rows
• Replace a worn existing corn head
• Add a second or backup corn head
• Upgrade from a manually adjusted deck-plate system
• Match an older John Deere combine without purchasing a substantially more expensive newer head
• Use an S Series combine where an appropriate conversion kit is available

At $19,500, the combination of 12-row capacity, hydraulic deck plates, auto height control, poly snouts, single-point hydraulics, and the seller-reported low acreage since reconditioning makes this 1293 worth consideration for the right operation.
