Figure 5.1: Cutterbar Deflectors

A two-piece cutterbar deflector is attached to the cutterbar just
below the header

’

s conditioner rolls. Deflectors provide

improved feeding into the conditioner rolls and prevent heavy
crop with long stems from feeding under the rolls.

Cutterbar deflectors may not be well-suited for some crop
and field conditions. Refer to the following table:

Table 5.1 Conditions for Using Cutterbar Deflectors

Crop/Field Condition

Use Deflector

Average crop/normal field
conditions

Long-stemmed and heavy/
normal field conditions

Yes

Long-stemmed and heavy/
sandy soil

Long-stemmed and heavy/
gopher mounds or rocks

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