Spin Turning
Hydrostatic steering provides significantly more maneuverability than mechanical steering.
CAUTION
Be sure area is clear before making turns. Although windrower pivots on the spot, the ends of the header
travel faster and in a large arc.

1. Move the ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of
N-DETENT towards the seat and hold.
2. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the desired direction of
turn. The windrower will pivot between the drive wheels.
3. To increase the turn radius, slowly move the GSL away
from NEUTRAL. Remember that this will increase
ground speed as well.
4. To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel back to
its centered position.
