OPERATION
12. Setting on CA25 draper control. 13. Set header angle as shallow as possible (setting A) with center-link and skid shoes while maintaining cutting height. 14. Cutting height is controlled with a combination of skid shoe settings and header angle. 15. Percentage above ground speed. 16. Stabilizer wheels are used to minimize header bouncing and to limit side-to-side movement when cutting off the ground in rolling terrain. 17. Available from your MacDon Dealer. A rice divider rod is not required on both ends of the header.
