harvester header turnaround maneuver/turnaround maneuver of the harvester header (or head)
I think the "cabecera" is the header (or head - I've seen it both ways). It is apparently raised to facilitate making a 180-degree turn.
See the following:
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6415590/description.html
As harvester 10 reaches the end of the first pass and arrives in the headland area of the field, the operator normally raises header 14 to facilitate making a 180° degree turn for the commencement of the second or return pass of the double windrow forming cycle
http://l.academicdirect.org/Horticulture/GAs/PhDs/NR/mveal06...
If an attempt to use the full cutting width fails, then the operator is forced into an even more unproductive set of maneuvers to turn around and harvest any crops left standing.

Note: I'm not sure (and doubt) that the suggested phrases actually exist as an established term, but they may work to describe what happens.
