Checking and adjusting the tyre pressure, refer to page171.
6.5 Adjusting the drawbar height
To ensure that the pick-up collects the crops evenly, the drawbar height of the machine must be
adapted to the tractor used. The drawbar is set to an optimal height when the hitched machine
is aligned horizontally or inclined slightly forward to the tractor.
RPG000-058
When the machine is coupled to the tractor, dimensionX is the distance between the centre of
the cutting rotor and the ground and must be X=700-750 mm .
When inserting straw (large swaths), the dimension may deviate: X=750-800mm.
Machines with tyres 15.0/55-17 in combination with a tandem axle: X=680mm
Checking drawbar height
ü The tyre pressure matches the value in the tyre table, refer to page41.
To ensure optimum operating conditions, hitch the machine so that the dimensionX
matches the aforementioned values.
ð If the measured dimension differs from dimensionX, adjust the drawbar height as
follows.
