Revision B

Example:

A 7.6 m (25 ft.) header operating at a ground speed of 9.7 km/h (6 mph) would produce a cut area of

approximately 7.3 hectares (18 acres) in one hour.

3.7.6

Draper Speed

Operating with the correct draper speed is an important factor for achieving good flow of cut crop away from the
cutterbar.

The draper speed is controlled with the windrower Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT). For instructions, refer to your
windrower operator

’

s manual.

Adjust the draper speed to achieve good feeding of crop for a good windrow. Excessive draper speed will reduce
draper life.

3.7.7

Knife Speed Information

The header knife drive is powered by the windrower

’

s hydraulic pump and is controlled using the windrower

’

s Harvest

Performance Tracker (HPT). The default speed is 1200 strokes per minute (spm).

NOTE:

Refer to your windrower operator

’

s manual for information

about using the HPT.

3.7.8

Reel Height

The reel operating position depends on the type of crop and cutting conditions.

You can create preset reel height positions using the Headland Management feature on an M1 Series Windrower. To set up
this feature, refer to your windrower operator

’

s manual. Set the reel height and fore-aft position to carry material past the

knife and onto the drapers with minimal damage to the crop.

The reel height is controlled manually or with button presets on the ground speed lever (GSL) in the windrower cab. Refer
to your windrower operator

’

s manual for instructions on controlling reel height or setting up auto reel height presets.

For more information on fore-aft positioning, refer to

3.7.9 Reel Fore-Aft Position, page 67

The following conditions might result if the reel is set too low:

•

Crop loss over the header backtube

•

Crop disturbance on the drapers caused by the reel fingers

•

Crop pushed down by the tine tubes

•

Tall crop wrapped around the reel drive and ends

The following conditions might result if the reel is set too high:

•

Cutterbar plugging

•

Crop lodging and being left uncut
