Header Angle
Header angle is defined as the angle between
the ground and the drapers/cutterbar and is
adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and/or soil type.
Refer to the appropriate operator's manual for
range of adjustment and recommended settings
for your particular header.
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted
from the cab without shutting down the
windrower (M200 standard equipment - M150
optional equipment).
allows the operator to establish settings for each
crop condition.
IMPORTANT
Changing header angle will affect flotation
slightly because it has the effect of making
the header lighter or heavier.
IMPORTANT
To prevent excessive guard breakage
when conditions are not suited to heavier
float (e.g. rocky or wet), do not use the tilt
control on the go. Instead, use the header
height switch.
