Mid-Missouri | That is definitely fixable.
First of all, do you have a variable speed feeder house? Is it set at correct speed for your Macdon header?
Once you have it set at the correct speed, the sickle should be cycling at the correct speed, set at the factory. At this speed, you should not have an issue with cutting against the rows.
Our FD70 dual knife 40' was set too slow from the factory. A quick adjustment on the hydraulic pump at the header got it up to speed and working great. They seem to be set too slow from the factory. Our Lexion has a variable speed feederhouse, which I change often. Having said that, the header should be set properly at the factory for a "certain" feeder house speed.
I think the FD75 has a sickle speed adjustment, but I think it is different from the FD70. A good tech or tech support from Macdon would tell you how. | |
