OPERATION
CUTTING
H~IGHT
Control cutting height with
skid
plates,
not with the
hydraulic cylinder.
Having
the
header
"ride"
on
the
skid
plates allows the float linkage to float header
over obstacles and follow ground contours, rather
than
supporting the header
with
the cyl
inder.
NOTE:
Lowering
the
skid
plates
raises
tine
cutting
height.
This
may
be desirable
in
stony conditions,
to reduce damage to cutting components.
Also,
a
longer stubble length helps material
dry
faster.
