Cutterbar Deflectors
A two-piece cutterbar deflector is attached to the cutterbar just below the conditioner rolls. Deflectors provide improved
feeding into the conditioner rolls and prevent long-stemmed crop from feeding under the rolls.
Cutterbar deflectors may not be well-suited for some types of crops and certain field conditions. Refer to the
following table:

Removing the deflector helps feed dirt/rocks through the header and prevents debris buildup, wear and damage
from rocks.
