Using the machine for work
NOTICE
Machine damage due to incorrect setting of the control unit/control units on the tractor
Machine may be damaged due to incorrect setting of the control unit/control units on the
tractor.
Set the control unit/control units of the tractor to float position when using the machine for
work.
ü
The machine is in the working position or headland position,
ü
The selected rotational speed and the direction of rotation of the PTO shaft correspond to
the permitted rotational speed and the direction of rotation of the machine.
Wide spreading (tedding)
If possible, take the swaths between the rotors.
If the forage is heavy, drive at a higher rotational speed and not too high driving speed
(steep spreading angle).
Use these as rough guidelines:
PTO speed approx. 350 - 450 rpm
Driving speed approx. 4 - 6 km/h
Turning
The drier the forage, the lower the PTO speed must be selected to prevent the forage from
being damaged.
Adjust the driving speed (6 - 8 km/h) to the forage condition.
Select the rotational speed and speed for moist forage the same as for wide spreading (flat
spreading angle).
Night swathing
Adjust the driving speed (6 - 8 km/h) and the PTO speed to the forage condition.
For narrow swaths select a steeper spreading angle.
INFORMATION
These specifications are only guide values and must be adjusted in practice to the local
conditions.
