Transporting - Woods BATWING BW20.50QE Operator's Manual

Shredding
The cutter may be used to shred various crops including green manure, straw,
stubble, asparagus residue, corn stalks and similar crops in preparation for till-
ing. It may also be used to shred pruning in orchards, groves and vineyards.
Each shredding operation may require a different set-up. Start with front edge
of cutter high. Adjust up or down as necessary with attitude rod. Experiment
until you obtain the results you want.
When shredding attitude is set, check that the distance from the bottom rear
edge of the wing to the ground matches the bottom edge of the rear centre sec-
tion to the ground.
