Reconfiguring Cutterbar Crop Stream
Discs are factory-installed to produce three crop streams, but disc rotation pattern can be changed by substituting the
spindle and corresponding disc to suit crop conditions. Each spindle and disc pair is designed to rotate in one direction and
must be changed as sets when altering crop flows.

Reducing or increasing the number of crop streams will produce
the following results:
•
Reducing the number of crop streams will result in narrower
windrows.
•
Increasing the number of crop streams will result in
smoother, wider windrows.
NOTE:
Increasing the number of crop streams will also increase the
number of diverging disc pairs which may negatively affect
cut quality in certain conditions.
