SECTION 6 - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

HIGH STUBBLE KIT (3-1/2 -- 5 IN)
The high stubble kit is intended to provide a higher
cutting height for clipping pastures, or for crops
where a higher stubble height is desired. The cutting
height range is approximately 127 mm (5 in) at 0
degrees cutter bar tilt to approximately 89 mm (3-1/2
in) at 10 degrees cutter bar tilt.
The high stubble kit consists of eight high skid shoes,
1. A high skid shoe should be installed under each
disc module; extra skid shoes may be saved as
spares.

To install the skid shoes, remove the standard skid
shoes by removing the two 1/2″ x1-1/4″ cap screws,
1, and cupped lock washers at the back of each disc
module. Install the high skid shoe by inserting the
front edge into the gap in the rock guard, and lift the
skid shoe up to align the bolt holes. Reinstall the cap
screws and torque to 113 N⋅m (83 ft. lbs.).
IMPORTANT: Longer 1/2″ x1-1/2″ cap screws are
used to retain the swathboard mounts and skid
shoes to the inner and outer disc modules. Do not mix
up the cap screws, as use of these longer cap screws
at another disc module may cause module damage.

After installing the high stubble kit, readjust the cutter
bar flotation to compensate for the increased cutter
bar height. Readjust the check chains so that the
hitch pins, 1, are as close to (but not less than) 508
mm (20 in) from the ground on Model 615 below PIN
628300 and Models 616 and 617.
On Model 615 PIN 628301 and above, readjust the
check chains so that the hitch pins, 1, are as close to
(but not less than) 660 mm (26 in).
Adjust the flotation spring length to the correct length
as described in “Cutter Bar Flotation” in the
Operation section of this manual.
