OPERATION
DELIVERY OPENING WIDTH (continued)
END DELIVERY: HYDRAULIC SHIFT HEADERS
NOTE: Windrower drive tires limit end delivery opening size on 21’ headers. Maximum end delivery
opening size is 53" (1345 mm) for 21’ header and 64.3” (1633 mm) for 25’ to 36’ headers. This limitation in
opening size results in minimal clearance between the first windrow laid and the standing crop. To
maximize this clearance:
1. Order end delivery forming rods. See Options and Attachments section.
2. If decks are not being shifted, (e.g. windrowing back and forth with one header), make the opening
larger by cutting one draper and adjusting the deck stops appropriately as described on previous
pages. Slowing the draper speed will also increase the gap between the first windrow laid and the
standing crop.
3. If decks are being shifted, (e.g. windrowing around the field perimeter or back and forth with two
headers), the overall width of the double windrow can be minimized without compromising the
clearance between the first windrow laid and the standing crop. If, for example the first windrow is
delivered to the right and the second to the left:
a) Shorten one draper as described above.
b) Adjust deck stops so decks shift to position shown below
c) Remove end deflector extension on left side to allow second windrow to be delivered next to first
windrow.
