Set the header angle according to the type and condition of
crop and soil as follows:
a.
Use shallower settings (A) (position
A
on the indicator)
for normal cutting conditions and wet soil to reduce
soil buildup at the cutterbar. Shallow angle settings also
minimize damage to the knife in stony fields.
b.
Use steeper settings (E) (position
E
on the indicator) for
lodged crops and crops that are close to the ground
such as soybeans.

Figure 3.141: Guard Angles
Shallowest angle (A) (center-link fully retracted) is at 1.7°,
and produces the highest stubble when cutting on the
ground.
Steepest angle (E) (center-link fully extended) is at 8.9°, and
produces the lowest stubble when cutting on the ground.
Choose an angle that maximizes performance for your crop
and field conditions.
