OPERATION
17. Setting on CA25 draper control. 18. Set header angle as shallow as possible (setting A) with center-link and skid shoes while maintaining cutting height. 19. Cutting height is controlled with a combination of skid shoes and header angle. 20. Percentage above ground speed. 21. Stabilizer wheels are used to limit the side-to-side movement when cutting off the ground in rolling terrain and to minimize bouncing.
