Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Release and adjust cutterbar on flex headers. Adjust header height
control.
• Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave.
Tips
• Round-end corn chaffer can remain in combine for soybeans however, if
grain sample quality needs to be improved, standard chaffer is available.
• Left-h
and separator cage cover and chopper floor cover are required for
soybeans.
• Retractable stationary knives should be
left in the lower position in
soybeans. If additional chop of residue is required, the stationary knives
should be partially raised up in small increments to avoid excessive power
requirements. The 24-knife chopper available on S7 Series, standard on
all S8 Series and S9 Series, will provide adequate chop in most cases.
