Setting Header Float
Note:
Float adjustments of 1.0 (out of 10) change the header weight at the cutterbar by approximately 91 kg (200 lb.).
Adjust float in increments of 0.05 to optimize field performance.
Too heavy float causes skid shoe wear, too light float causes excessive header bouncing over uneven terrain.
