4.7.10 Swath Compressor
The swath compressor is a large, formed polyethylene sheet designed to mount to the underside of the windrower. The
swath compressor is designed for use with D1X and D1XL Series Draper Headers cutting canola.
The swath compressor shapes the windrow and anchors it into the stubble behind the header to help prevent shelling and
swath damage from wind. Excessive compression by a swath compressor or roller can increase losses from crop shelling,
and may increase drying time; inadequate compression can leave a windrow prone to wind damage.
Swath Compressor Controls
The following topic explains how the windrower controls the swath compressor, and describes the automated raise/lower
functions.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
