Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Your new 963 Harvest Header is designed to serve a dual function in your grain and specialty crop harvesting operation: 1. Teamed with your self-propelled windrower power unit, the header will cut and lay crop into uniform fluffy windrows. Windrowing allows starting the harvest earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time. -

Page 20: Cutting Height
HEADER OPERATION Operating Variables (continued) CUTTING HEIGHT Cutting height will vary, depending on whether windrowing or straight-cutting, type of crop, etc. See "Windrowing" for stubble height recommen- dations. Gauge Wheel Field Positions: For headers equipped with gauge wheels or the gauge wheel/transport package, choose Field Position 1 or 2 to maintain proper gauge wheel spring force at desired cutting height. -
Page 21: Skid Shoes (Attachment)
HEADER OPERATION Operating Variables CUTTING HEIGHT (continued) Skid Shoes (Attachment) Skid shoes are available as an attachment. The primary benefits of skid shoes are: 1. Help prevent damage to cutting components. 2. Reduce scooping of dirt onto cutterbar. 3. Provide a method of setting a minimum cutting height. -
Page 22: Header Flotation
HEADER OPERATION Operating Variables (continued) HEADER FLOTATION IMPORTANT: To avoid frequent breakage of sickle components, scooping soil, or soil build-up at cutterbar in wet conditions, set header float as light as possible without causing excessive bouncing. Under normal conditions, adjust float spring tension so 50 to 70 lbs. force (220 to 310 N) is required to lift cutterbar off ground at each end. -
Page 23: Header Angle
HEADER OPERATION Operating Variables (continued) 4. Adjust float to desired setting while keeping gap less than I inch (0-25 mm) gap at (C). Measure gap with header at desired cutting height. Loosen jam nut (D) and turn adjustment bolt (E) clockwise to increase float. - Page 24 HEADER OPERATION Operating Variables (continued) To adjust delivery opening width (continued) 2.

Page 29: Windrowing
HEADER OPERATION Windrowing The factors listed below will all affect the formation of the windrow. You will quickly become adept at adjusting these variables to achieve the desired results. NOTE: Crop condition is a major factor in forming a good windrow. While standing or uniformly leaning crops can generally be easily formed into an acceptable windrow, such is not the case when stalks are tangled or leaning in several directions. - Page 30 HEADER OPERATION Windrowing DELIVERY OPENING The width and position of the delivery opening affects the width and configuration of the windrow. The decision to widen or narrow the center delivery opening; or whether or not to double windrow should be based on the following factors: •...
