3.7.3 Header Angle
Header ang
le is the angle between the drapers and the ground, and is adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and/or soi
l type.
The heade
r angle (A) is a critical factor for effective cutting
on the gro
und applications because it determines the
actual di
stance (B) between the knife and the ground.
The heade
r rotates about the point of skid shoe/ground
contact
(C) by adjusting the length of the center-link
thereby
adjusting the position of the guards and knife.
Header a
ngle (A) is synonymous with guard angle (D)
which is
the angle between the guard upper surface and
the grou
nd.
