Header Height Control
The header height control is located on the
multi-function handle. The header should be
operated at a height where the springs run just
barely above the soil, low enough to pick all
the vines up into the header, but high enough
to avoid picking up foreign material such as
dirt clods, soil, and other debris.
Running the header too high will result in
peanut loss, while running the header too low
can result in excessive spring wear.
See Chapter 2, Operator’s Station, for specific
information on how to set header height
control.
change the physical height of
the header, add or remove spacer rings
or from the gauge wheels. Or, adjust the
gauge wheel jacks, depending on how the
header is equipped.
