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:
Row Crops
• For row crops, set your row space to the planted row spacing and your
number of rows to the number of total rows your cutting platform will
cut.
Non-rowed crops
• 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.
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.
• Set the monitor on a row space of 12 inches and a number of rows that
adds up to the correct swath. 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 instructions in the Operation Section for more
information about partial swath.
