Harvesting - General
Before the harvest, do the following:
- Unfold the rotary harvesting unit
- Adjust the speed at which the gathering drums operate
IMPORTANT: Avoid unnecessary wear at the clutches.
Always select forward gear from the idle setting.
1. Run the engine of the forage harvester at idle speed.
2. Switch on the rotary harvesting unit.
3. Wait until the gathering drums and rotary cutters have
reached their operating speed.
IMPORTANT: In most cases, it is best to approach
the crop at right angles to the direction
it is lying in. This usually results in the
most even flow of crop.
IMPORTANT: Observe the flow of crop at all times.
4. Drive into the crop at a relatively high speed in order
to achieve a flow of crop quickly.
