8.2.1 Cutting height
The desired cutting height is obtained directly by
adjusting the top link length. This height is adjustable
between 30 and 80 mm (1.2’’ - 3.1’’) depending on
the tractors.
To obtain a different cutting height:
- Place the machine in transport position.
- Lower the machine on the ground to remove weight
from the top link.
- Modify the top link length to alter the machine tilt
angle.
- Check cutting height.
If the tractor is fitted with a hydraulic top link, the
machine tilt angle can be adjusted in working
position.
The maximum cutting height L1 = 80 mm (3.1’’)
is obtained when the disks are parallel to the
ground.
The minimum height must not be below L2 = 30
mm (1.2’’).
Too low a cutting height can lead to:
• Excessive disc and knife wear.
• Crop being contaminated by soil.
• Delay in regrowth.
• Soil build-up in front of the cutter bar.
