Knife Hold-Downs

For good shearing action, adjust hold-downs for the minimum gap between knife section and knife guards. Check hold-downs periodically.

Use correct type of cutterbar guard. Regular guards can be used for normal field conditions. Non-clog guards are recommended for:

1. Down, tangled, or matted crops.
2. Hard cutting conditions such as fine stem grass, native grass, or heavy or wet undergrowth.
3. Trashy fields containing weeds, mouse nests, old windrows, or old twine.
