Skid Shoes; Lean Bar; Reel; Cutterbar - MASSEY FERGUSON 9125 Workshop Service Manual

Skid Shoes

The position of the skid shoes can be adjusted up or
down to meet varying cutting height requirements. This
adjustment is made manually.
Gauge wheels can also be installed instead of the skid
shoes to help the header move across rough ground.

Lean Bar

The position of the lean bar can be rotated up and down
to meet varying crop conditions.

Reel

The position of the reel can be adjusted up and down or
fore and aft to meet varying crop conditions. Reel tine
release of the harvested crop can also be adjusted to
permit either an early or a later release of the crop in front
of the augers. Reel speed can be adjusted for ground
speed and crop conditions.

Cutterbar

The cutterbar uses two sickles that overlap in the center
guard. It is important the sickles are aligned, timed, and
have the correct register for good crop cut off.

Augers

The dual opposed rotating augers are designed to give
even feeding into the hay conditioner. The auger stripper
bars can be adjusted for varying crop conditions. This
adjustment is made manually. The lower auger angles
(optional) and the auger pans can also be installed or
removed for varying crop and field conditions.

General Information

Hay Conditioner

The hay conditioner uses engaged rollers that provide
aggressive conditioning for fast drying of conditioned
crop. The amount of crop conditioning can be adjusted by
changing the roll spacing and roll pressure.
A narrower roll spacing gives an increased level of crop
conditioning while a wider roll spacing gives a decreased
level of crop conditioning.
The roll pressure is applied by a hydraulic cylinder on the
end of the rolls. The pressure is kept with an accumulator
which also gives a flotation function to the rolls. The roll
pressure is set with the valve, gauge, and switch on the
header.

Swathboard

The swathboard can be rotated down behind the hay
conditioner to direct the conditioned crop into a wide
swath.
An optional swathboard actuator kit is available lets the
operator make the swathboard adjustment from the cab
of the tractor.

Forming Shields

The forming shields and rear deflector are used to form a
windrow of varying width to fit any operation. The forming
shield can be adjusted to make the windrow wider in
heavy crop or narrower in light crop. The rear deflector
can be adjusted to slow the crop which will let the crop
free fall to the ground in a loose windrow. These
adjustments provide maximum air flow through the
windrow for fast crop drying.
