MacDon How To - C & FC Series - Stalk Choppers
Quinn walks us through how to turn on and off you corn headers chopping gearboxes. This is a simple process you perform on each row, or just the rows you desire. This applies to MacDon C and FC Series Corn Headers.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hi, my name is Quinn from MacDon. I'm the product support specialist for corn headers. And today we're going to be talking about stalk chopping gearboxes.
Stalk chopping gearboxes can be engaged or disengaged using our stalk chopper wrench on the right hand side of the header. Opening up the toolbox, we can see that we have our stalk chopper wrench. Reasons why you might want to do this are you only want to chop certain rows or uh if something happens and you want to disengage a certain row to continue harvesting. Under the header, we have our stalk chopping gearbox with our chopper assembly and we have a hex switch. We're going to use our stalk chopping wrench to grab it and rotate it 180° until you hear a click. When the stalk chopper is loose, it is disengaged. To re-engage the stalk chopper, we're going to take our wrench, we're going to turn it back
180° until it clicks. And then grabbing the center of the stock chopper hub, we can see that the chopping assembly is now turning the header over.
