Adjusting Stabilizer / Slow Speed Transport Wheels
A properly adjusted header will achieve a balance between the amount of header weight carried by the
fl
oat and
the amount carried by the stabilizer / slow speed transport wheels.
Refer to
3.6.2 Header Settings, page 39
for recommended use in speci
fi
c crops and crop conditions.
