A sectional header system (100) is carried by the chassis (12) of an agricultural vehicle (10). The sectional header system (100) includes a center section (110) connected to the chassis (12) and having a pair of lateral ends (116A, 116B), at least one additional section (120), and at least one coupling assembly (500). The at least one coupling assembly (500) includes at least one actuator (510) and at least one connector (520). The at least one coupling assembly (500) is removably connecting the center section (110) to the at least one additional section (120). The at least one additional section (120) is coupled to the center section (110) in harvesting of a crop material and the at least one additional section (120) is decoupled from the center section (110) in transportation of the sectional header system.
