Page 105: Header Angle
OPERATION 12. Reinstall linkage cover (A) and secure it with bolt (B). Figure 3.73: Linkage Cover 3.7.5 Header Angle Header angle is adjustable to accommodate different crop conditions and/or soil types and can be adjusted using the center-link between the combine and the header. Some combines have an adjustable feeder house, which provides the operator an alternate method for controlling header angle.
Page 106 OPERATION 1. Set the header angle according to the type and condition of crop and soil as follows: a. Use shallower settings (A) (position A on the indicator) for normal cutting conditions and wet soil to reduce soil build-up at the cutterbar. Shallow angle settings also minimize damage to the knife in stony fields.
Page 107: Adjusting Header Angle From Combine
OPERATION Adjusting Header Angle from Combine The header/guard angle is adjusted from the combine cab with a switch on the operator’s control handle and an indicator on the center-link or on the monitor in the cab. The header/guard angle is determined by the length of the center-link between the combine float module and the header, or by tilting the feeder house on selected combines.
Page 108 OPERATION New Holland combines: New Holland combines use control handle switches to adjust the center-link to change header angle. 1.
