MAXFLEX cutterbars can be used in 3 different operating modes.

The operating mode is selected in CEBIS.

1 Grain mode.

Cutterbar table and knife bar are set to a rigid configuration. The cutting height is controlled by the grain sensor bands.

2 Manual flex mode.

When manual flex mode is activated, the knife bar follows the ground contours. Sensors in the sliding skids provide the control signals for AUTO CONTOUR. The flexible knife bar can avoid obstacles with a 90 mm upward deflection and also follow the ground contours with a downward deflection of 90 mm. With a total flex range of 180 mm, MAXFLEX is therefore able to adjust to practically all ground conditions.

3 AUTO FLEX mode.

AUTO FLEX is a self-learning system which automatically optimises the height of the front attachment on the basis of the ground contours and thereby offers a number of important advantages:

The greatest possible downward flex range is always available
The knife bar is always maintained as close as possible to the reel
The lowest cutting height is achieved.
When AUTO FLEX is activated, the knife bar follows the ground contours. Sensors in the sliding skids provide the control signals for AUTO CONTOUR.
