    Why are there stripes in the stubble when using Vicon Extra 828T PRO?
    • H
      Hannah CooperAug 6, 2025
      Stripes in the stubble when using Vicon Farm Equipment can occur if the cutterbar isn't correctly angled for the crop. In this case, adjust the angle of the cutterbar. Also, stripes can appear if the cutterbar is fitted with high skids; remove the high skids. A build-up of crop on the cutting discs can also cause stripes, so increase your speed. Mounting throwing wings on the cutting discs or setting the rotor to 900 rpm can also help.

      Uneven stubble with Vicon Farm Equipment can be caused by several factors. You might be driving too slowly, so increase your speed. The tractor RPM on the PTO might be too low, so check the RPM. Also, check if the knives are blunt or missing, and turn or replace them as needed. Finally, the machine may not be correctly balanced, so adjust the springs.

      If you're getting uneven swathes with your Vicon Farm Equipment, it could be due to the rotor's RPM being too low; set the rotor to 900 rpm. Another cause could be an incorrect setting of the deflector plate, so adjust the deflector plates.
