Abstract
An agricultural header includes a header frame and at least one harvesting element carried by the header frame. The header frame includes a rigid portion, a first conformable portion flexibly coupled to the rigid portion by a first resilient material that allows at least about 1.5° of reversible deflection, and a second conformable portion flexibly coupled to the rigid portion by a second resilient material that allows at least about 1.5° of reversible deflection.
