Header angle is adjustable to accommodate different crop conditions and/or soil types.
Header angle (A) controls the distance (B) between the
knife and the ground and is a critical component for
effective cutting on the ground. Adjusting the center-link
determines the position of the knife and guards and pivots
the header at the point of skid shoe/ground contact (C).
Header angle (A) is equal to guard angle (D) which is
the angle between the upper surface of the guards and
the ground.
