Adjusting Stalklifters

IMPORTANT: Excessive stalklifter wear can occur. DO NOT set points lower than necessary while still gathering low hanging stalks and branches.

Stalklifter damage can occur. Chain MUST be positioned in bottom of slot to prevent chain from coming loose and causing stalklifter point to contact ground.

Before adjusting stalklifters, unit tilt and height sensing must be properly adjusted.

Initially, adjust point (A) about 25 mm (1 in.) above bottom of stalklifter extension (B). Adjust with chain (C).

Position stalklifters lower than bottom of extension ONLY if cotton is being left in the field because of low hanging bolls or lodged and tangled limbs. In this condition, set stalklifter points to skim but not plow the bed. In this setting, periodically check wear on metal wear plate located on stalklifter point.
