Adjusting Gatherer Chain Flights

The gatherer chains are assembled at the factory with the chain flights (A) staggered between one another. If operating in unusual field conditions, the gatherer chain flights can be positioned opposite one another to be more aggressive.

IMPORTANT: Be careful to avoid rocks and other obstructions in the row when running gatherers close to the ground.
