Hydraulic Header Flotation

The header flotation circuit allows the header to follow the field contours.  The flotation circuit consists of two flotation cylinders, two lift cylinders, an accumulator, and the header lift and flotation valve.

The operator controls flotation pressure by activating the flotation pressure switch on the console, and monitors flotation pressure on the console-mounted gauge.  Flotation adjustments can be made on the go from inside the cab increasing operator efficiency.
