4.4.4 C utterb ar Crop Stream Configuration
Discs are factory installed to produce three crop streams, but disc rotation pattern can be changed by substitution
of spindle and corresponding disc to suit crop conditions. A spindle and disc are rotation specific and must be
changed as sets when altering crop flows.
Reducing or increasin g the nu mber o f crop strea ms will
produce the following results:
• Reducing the number of crop streams will result in
narrower win drows.
• Increasing the number of crop streams will result in
smoother, wider windrows.
NOTE:
Incre
asing the number of crop streams will
also i
ncrease the number of diverging disc
pair
s which may negatively affect cut quality in
cert
ain conditions.
