Upper Cross Auger (Option); Removing Beater Bars - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

3.14 Upper Cross Auger (Option)

The upper cross auger (UCA) (A) improves delivery of very bulky crops across the header and onto the windrow.
Beater bars assist in delivering material through the header
opening, but the beater bars are removable if wrapping occurs.
IMPORTANT:
The UCA drive motor must be equipped with a case drain kit
when used on single draper drive headers. See your MacDon
Dealer for details.
NOTE:
Newer UCA kits do not include or use beater bars.
