Crop Flow

An auger header is used to cut the crop, condition the
crop, and put the crop into a swath or windrow.
The header height is adjusted with the skid shoes (1)
which will also change the cutting height. As the header is
moved into the crop, the lean bar (2) pushes the crop
forward so the crop will be fed into the header stem first.
The reel (3) then moves the crop onto the cutterbar (4).
The sickle in the cutterbar cuts the crop, and the reel
moves the cut crop into the augers (5). The augers move
the crop to the hay conditioner where the hay conditioner
rolls (6) condition the crop for fast drying. The hay
conditioner rolls also increase the speed of the crop. The
swathboard (7) or forming shields (8) determine the crop
position on the ground for drying and pickup operations.
