Why is the stubble uneven or cutting badly with my Kongskilde Farm Equipment?

  nelsonchristopherAug 6, 2025
  Uneven stubble or bad cutting with your Kongskilde Farm Equipment can occur for several reasons: * The header flotation might be too light. * The blades may be dull or missing. Replace any dull, broken, or missing blades. * The TopSafe™ system might need adjustment. * The Power Take-Off (PTO) speed could be too slow. Operate the tractor PTO at 1000 RPM. * The discs, rock guards, or disc covers may be broken or worn. Replace any broken or worn parts.

What to do if there are streaks of uncut crop in the stubble with Kongskilde Farm Equipment?

  Jonathan RobertsAug 10, 2025
  If you notice streaks of uncut crop in the stubble when using Kongskilde Farm Equipment, consider the following: * The header tilt angle might not be correct for the crop you're cutting. * There could be excessive crop accumulation on the cutter bar. Clean it off and increase the tractor ground speed. * Mud or crop buildup in front of the cutter bar could be the issue. Clean the mud or crop out; replace any worn shear bars that mount between each rock guard, or install the high stubble skid shoe kit.

Why is my Kongskilde Farm Equipment pulling the crop out of the ground and consuming excessive power?

  Christopher ShawAug 14, 2025
  If your Kongskilde Farm Equipment is pulling the crop out of the ground, especially when cutting back windrow or when tall material leans into the implement, and power consumption is excessive, it could be due to: * Excessive roll pressure. Reduce the roll pressure or increase the roll gap. * The tractor ground speed being too slow. Increase the tractor ground speed.

Why is there uneven crop flow in my Kongskilde Farm Equipment, and grass isn't thrown onto the Collector III unit?
- W
  Wesley AndersenAug 23, 2025
  Uneven crop flow in your Kongskilde Farm Equipment, where grass isn't being thrown onto the Collector III unit, can be caused by: * Broken or missing conditioner fingers. Replace defective conditioner fingers, turning them with the straight edge in the direction of rotation. * The distance between the conditioner hood and the rotor being too big. * The Power Take-Off (PTO) speed being too slow. Increase the driving speed and the engine RPM to ensure the PTO has 1000 RPM even under load. * Conditioner rotor drives with too low speed. Check whether the conditioner rotor has been adjusted to high speed.

What causes excessive header oscillation in Kongskilde Farm Equipment?
- E
  Elizabeth TaylorAug 27, 2025
  Excessive fore and aft oscillation of the header during operation of your Kongskilde Farm Equipment can be caused by the TopSafe™ system spring tension being too high.

Why does my Kongskilde Farm Equipment header have poor downward flotation?
- K
  Kyle SmithAug 31, 2025
  Poor downward flotation of the header on your Kongskilde Farm Equipment can occur if the TopSafe™ system spring tension is too low.
