Adjusting for Corn (Maize)

Always begin with the maximum setting (A)

If harvesting unit in its operating position requires a re-adjustment of the spiral floor, keep the following in mind:

  • The operating position of the spiral floor is determined by the position of the header and the size of tires fitted to the forage harvester.
  • When using the kernel processor, it is important that the crop is fed between the kernel processor rolls.

B-Top front pos.
C-Bottom rear pos.
D-Bottom front pos.- Minimum distance between cutterhead and spiral floor

Spiral Floor Adjustment Chart

When the header is at its operating height, measure the length of lift cylinder (X) and compare with chart to obtain the correct pin holes you should use.

NOTE: The following chart shows the cylinder length (X) at an operating height of min. 120 mm (0.47 in.).

Lift cylinder length (X) Pin holes
Min. 670 mm (26.4 in. )
Best possible position 680 mm (26.8 in.)
Max. 700 mm (27.6 in.)		 Pin in Position A (top rear)
   
Min. 690 mm (27.2 in.)
Best possible position 700 mm (27.6 in.)
Max. 730 mm (28.7 in.)		 Pin in position B (top front)
   
Min. 695 mm (27.4 in.)
Best possible position 710 mm (27.9 in.)
Max. 730 mm (28.7 in.)		 Pin in position C (bottom rear)
   
Min. 710 mm (27.9 in.)
Best possible position 725 mm (28.5 in.)
Max. 750 mm (29.5 in.)		 Pin in position D (bottom front)

 

Adjust the discharge chute (see this section and the "Kernel Processor" section).
