Picking Cotton
1.
Adjust ground speed to control green boll and lint loss. Do first picking in first gear. Second gear should only be used for second picking.
2.
Reduce ground speed at row ends. Completely raise row units and use individual brake pedals to aid in turning as necessary.
3.
To fully utilize basket capacity, operate compactor augers as follows:
Activate augers (using switch (A) located on cab floor near base of console) OCCASIONALLY when cotton nears top of front screen and when cotton builds up on auger flighting.
Activate augers CONTINUOUSLY when cotton fully covers the front basket screen and the compactor augers.
NOTE:
Use good judgement when the basket is almost full. Unload early to prevent plugging of ducts.
