OPERATION
CUTTING
H~IGHT
Control cutting height with
skid
plates, not with the
hydraulic
cylinder.
Having the header
"ride" on
the
skid
plates allows the float linkage to float header
over obstacles
and follow ground
contours,
rather
than
supporting
the header with the
cyl
inder.
NOTE: Lowering the
skid plates
raises tine
cutting
height. This may be desirable in
stony
conditions,
to reduce damage to cutting
components.
Also, a
longer
stubble
length helps material
dry
faster.
