Attaching an R Series or R1 Series Rotary Disc Header
R and R1 Series Rotary Disc Headers can be attached to an M155
E4
Self-Propelled Windrower.
NOTE:
The 18.4 x 26 drive tire is recommended on the M155
E4
Self-Propelled Windrower when operated with a 4 m (13 ft.) R or
R1 Series Rotary Disc Header. These drive tires are reversible and should be mounted inset at 3792 mm (149.3 in.) to
provide maximum clearance to uncut crop. Mounting these tires outset or mounting all other drive tire options will result
in windrower tires slightly wider than the header width. This may cause some uncut crop to be trampled by tires in turns
and corners during windrower operation, and may leave some uncut strips of crop in the windrower
’
s next pass.
