Knife
Check that the knife is in good condition in order for it to work effectively. This involves
replacing damaged or broken sections, removing vertical movement by adjusting the
keeps and making sure that the fingers are not rounded or bent. Regular
checks/adjustments will aid cleaner cutting and reduced stress on the knife drive
system.
Table auger
The table auger is important for the
transportation of material to the front
elevator.
The timing of the retractable fingers can
be adjusted for different crops by
opening up the guard on the RHS of the
cutterbar and adjusting the lever with a
spanner. Use the top holes for short
crops and the lower holes for tall crops.
The 3
rd
hole from bottom is the standard
setting.
1.
Adjust the stripper plates behind the auger.
2.
Remove the intermediate retractable fingers along the length of the auger
leaving just the middle ones.
3.
Alter the height of the auger within the trough of the cutterbar. There should be
a minimum gap of 20mm between the trough and the auger flights.
4.
Alter the speed of the auger by swapping the sprocket on the LHS of the
cutterbar.
Crop Wrapping Problems
If a problem with crop wrapping around the table auger in difficult conditions occurs
there are a number of procedures that can be carried out, try one thing at a time.
