Draper Speed

Draper speed affects the orientation of stalks in
the windrow. Faster draper speeds tend to form
herringbone or dovetail configurations. Refer to
your header operator's manual for guidelines on
what speed to use.
The draper speed can be set with switches on
the Cab Display Module (CDM) relative to the
ground speed of the windrower with the

independently.
