4. Header Offsets (A): Offset distances are important for yield
mapping. There are two adjustable dimensions on the
HEADER SETTINGS page:
• Header Lateral Offset: the distance between the
centerline of the header and the centerline of the
machine. This should be set at 0 for a MacDon header.
• Feeder House to Cutter: the distance from the machine
interface to the cutterbar. This should be set at 68 for a
MacDon header.
