Industrial Hemp
Initial Combine Setup
• This crop is like Milo with a lighter test weight.
• Run in low range of rotor gearbox for greater torque if possible (S8 Series
has greater range to provide ability to run on low side of gearbox).
Running in the low RPM's of the high range will increase belt slip which
reduces belt life

• Lock up cutterbar on flex headers.
• Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
• Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive sheave.
• Left separator cage cover removed
Straw Chopper

Straw Spreader
