Page 24: Operating Variables
OPERATION OPERATING VARIABLES Satisfactory function of the header and hay conditioner in all situations requires making proper AUGER HEADER adjustments to suit various crops and conditions. 1. Lean Bar Position Correct operation reduces crop loss and allows 2. Ground Speed cutting of more acres. -
Page 25: Ground Speed
OPERATION GROUND SPEED Ground speed of windrower should be such that sickle can cut crop smoothly and cleanly. See Windrower Tractor Operator's Manual for identification and instructions for use of ground speed control. The chart below indicates the relationship between ground speed and area cut for the three auger header sizes. -
Page 26: Reel Speed
NOTE: Both speed control knobs on tractor console are used to adjust reel speed. 912 Header See "Reel and Reel Drive" in Maintenance/ Service section for instructions regarding changing reel speed. -
Page 27: Reel Pick-Up Finger Pitch
OPERATION REEL PICK-UP FINGER PITCH Another factor in effective feeding of crop into the sickle and auger is finger pitch angle (the angle the fingers operate at in relation to the ground). NOTE: In the illustration at right, pitch angle (A) is more aggressive than pitch angle (B). -
Page 28: Cutting Height
OPERATION CUTTING HEIGHT Your header will be equipped with either: • wide adjustable outer skid shoes, or • gauge rollers plus narrower skid shoes. Vary the cutting height by adjusting either skid shoe or gauge roller position. The operator can then lower the header to the ground, allowing the shoes or rollers to provide a consistent cutting height. -
Page 29: Header Angle
OPERATION HEADER ANGLE The header (or guard) angle is adjustable in the following range depending on tractor model (measured with cutterbar on ground): Tractor models: 8° to 16° below horizontal XX40/XX50 8° to 16° below horizontal XX52/XX52i c/w shallow angle kit 11°... -
