Pick-Up Height
Pick-up height (A) is the distance between the pick-up finger and the ground.
Figure 3.105: Pick-Up Height
The recommended pick-up height is 25 mm (1 in.), but it
may need to be adjusted to suit field conditions. The
following symptoms indicate that an adjustment is
necessary:
•
If the pick-up leaves material in the swath, the pick-up
height is too high.
•
If the pick-up fingers are wearing quickly or are picking up
dirt and stones, the pick-up height is too low.
