MacDon M150 2008 - Disc Speed

HEADER OPERATION – R SERIES
Form 169017 105 Issue – June 2008
6.7.3 Disc Speed
The header is allocated a code that the WCM
reads when the header is first attached to the
tractor, and the disc speed set-point
automatically becomes the minimum disc speed
for the header. The operator can then program
the desired speed from the following table on the
CDM to be stored in the WCM memory so that if
the header is detached and then re-attached to
the tractor, the disc will operate at the original
set-point.
