Settings: Cutterbar
The cutterbar is one of the most important parts of the combine harvester.
It is designed to cut and gather the crop from the field.
The first part of the cutterbar to make contact with the crop are the dividers.
There are two types, a standard and a long divider.
It is recommended that lifters should be fitted to CLAAS cutterbars.
The lifters should be fitted by placing the first one on the fifth finger from the RHS
of the cutterbar and then on every fourth one thereafter.
Dividing:
Lifters:
To make the crop lie down before the auger to aid the feed into
the centre of the cutterbar, move the table in or out.
Make sure that the height of the divider is set so it does not run
on the ground. Set the height the same as the stubble.
Check the lifters everyday, if they are loose or bent remove
and replace them.
