FLOTATION
Float is intended for cutting crops that require the
cutterbar to be in contact with the ground.
Optimum float is for the cutterbar to maintain
contact with the ground with minimum bouncing
and scooping or pushing soil.
The machine will perform best with minimum extra
weight on the header.
IMPORTANT
To avoid frequent breakage of sickle
components, scooping soil, or soil build-up
at cutterbar in wet conditions, header float
should be set as light as possible without
causing excessive bouncing. When float
setting is light, it may be necessary to use a
slower ground speed to avoid excessive
bouncing and leaving a ragged cut.
IMPORTANT
The stabilizer wheels are designed to
minimize bouncing at the header ends and
not float the header. Refer to the D50, D60,
or D65 Draper Headers for Self-Propelled
Windrowers Operator’s Manual for
adjustment details.
6.4.2.1
Float Operating Guidelines
When working with the cutterbar on the ground;
Set center-link to mid-range position (05.0 on
Cab Display Module [CDM]). Refer to Section
6.4.5 Header Angle.
In rocky fields, adjust skid shoes down to raise
guards when operating at flattest header
angle to minimize scooping rocks.
Adjust header height or adjust header angle to
minimize pushing soil.
6.4.2.2 Float
Adjustment
The M Series windrowers are equipped with
primary (coarse) and secondary (fine) adjustment
systems. The primary or coarse adjustment uses
drawbolts to change the tension on the springs in
the lift linkages. The secondary or fine adjustment
uses hydraulic cylinders to change the spring
tension.
a. Check header float as follows:
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
1. Start
engine.
2. Using HEADER TILT SWITCHES, set
center-link to mid-range position (05.0 on Cab
Display Module [CDM]) (A).
3. Using HEADER DOWN switch, lower header
fully with lift cylinders fully retracted.
4. Set left and right float fine adjustments on the
CDM to approximately 5.0 as follows:
i) Using float selector switch (B), push
+
to
increase float, or
–
to decrease float on
left side of header. CDM display (A) will
indicate selected float for left side, for
example (5.0 L FLOAT R XX.X).
ii) Repeat for right side float with switch (C).
Display will indicate float for both sides,
for example (5.0 L FLOAT R 5.0).
5. Shut down engine, and remove key.
