MacDon M205 2010 - Disc Speed

HEADER OPERATION – R SERIES
Form 169469/169470/169471 118 Revision C
6.7.3 DISC SPEED
The header is allocated a code that the WCM
reads when the header is first attached to the
windrower, 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 windrower, the disc will operate at the
original set-point.
