• Medium flow – an estimate amount of flow for the knife speed in between the minimum and maximum adjustable
speed for the attached header
• High flow – an estimate amount of flow for the maximum adjustable speed for the attached header
The three knife drive flows are done at three engine speeds – 1800, 2000, and 2300 rpm.
