OPERATING THE HEADER
6.7 Cutting He
ight
Cutting heigh
t is determined by a combination of the angle of the cutterbar/header and the roller gauge or skid
shoe settings
.
Cutting heigh
t should be adjusted for optimum cutting performance without allowing excessive build-up of mud and
soil insid e t
he header that can lead to poor crop flow and increased wear on cutting components.
Choose an ang
le that maximizes performance for your crop and field co nditions. Ref er to Sect ion 6.6 Header Angle,
page 78.
Optional ad
justable gauge rollers or skid shoes are available to also provide different cutting heights. Refer to
Sections 6.
7.1 Adjusting Gauge Roller Height , page 79 and 6.7.2 Adjusting the Skid Shoe Height, page 80.
• Lowering th
e skid shoes/gauge rollers or decreasing header angle increases the cutting height. This may be
desirable
in stony conditions to reduce damage to cutting components. Also, a longer stubble length helps material
dry faster
.
• Raising th
e skid shoes/gauge rollers and increasing header angle allows the crop to be cut lower.
To minimiz
e damage to cutterbar components, scooping soil, or soil build-up at the cutterbar in damp conditions,
header flo
at should be set as light as possible without causing excessive bouncing.
When the fl
oat setting is light, it may be necessary to use a slower ground speed to avoid excessive bouncing and
leaving a
ragged cut.

justing Gauge Roller Height
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected
start-up or fall of raised machine: stop engine,

from other side. Position roller at desired position and
reinstall a djuster pin s (A). Secure with lynch pins.
