Step Action
5 Repeat the above steps for each grain type that will be harvested.
Make sure to set the grain type back to the original setting for the
load after you have finished setting the swath.
Recommendations for Row Crop Heads:
•
For row crops, set your row space to the planted row spacing
and your number of rows to the number of total rows of your
combine head.
Recommendations for Cutting Platform Heads:
•
Set the swath in the monitor to one foot less than the actual
swath width of the head because you can rarely maintain a
constant full swath while harvesting.
•
Set the monitor on a row space of 12 inches and a number of
rows that adds up to the correct swath.
Example: If your cutting platform head is 20 actual feet, set the
monitor’s swath to 19 feet by setting the row space to 12 inches and
the number of rows to 19. Setting the row space to 12 inches for
cutting platforms allows you to reduce the cutting swath by easier-
to-see one-foot increments when you are harvesting a partial swath.
Refer to the Swath Setting document in the operation section for
more information about partial swath.
