Figure 4.472: Grass Seed Version – Field Position
Anti-shatter shield (A) prevents the shattering of the grass seed
heads as the header cuts. Grass seed drums (C) gently guide the
crop into a windrow so the delicate grass seed heads aren’t
damaged. During field operation, fully extend the shield (shown)
or fully retract the shield depending on the type of crop, and
rotate hazard/brake lights (B) to the front (shown). To transport
the header, fully retract the shield and rotate the hazard/brake
lights outward.
Figure 4.473: Cutterbar – One-Crop Stream
During the installation of the grass seed option, the cutterbar
stream is reconfigured to produce one crop stream (A) instead
of four. The one-crop stream is the recommended cutterbar
configuration for grass seed headers. As the Operator, you
should not have to modify the crop stream configuration. For
more information, refer to the R216 Rotary Disc Header
Operator’s Manual.
The grass seed option must be activated as an attachment through the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) the first time
the header is connected to the windrower before any of the grass seed controls on the ground speed level (GSL) or
operator’s console will work. For instructions, refer to Activating Grass Seed Option, page 320.
Once the grass seed is activated through the HPT, operate the attachment. For instructions, refer to the following:
• To operate the header in the field, refer to Operating with Grass Seed Option, page 323.
• To prepare the header for transport, refer to Preparing Header with Grass Seed Option for Transport, page 325.
Activating Grass Seed Option
The grass seed (GSS) option must be activated in the windrower’s control system the first time it is attached to an M1
Windrower.
NOTE:
The windrower requires the software versions (or newer) listed in Table 4.7, page 320 to operate the grass seed header.
