Working with large-scale swathers with individual rotor lift at the headland or tapered field edges often requires a great deal of concentration on the part of the operator. To make their job easier, from the 2024 season all LINER 4700/4800/4900 BUSINESS can be equipped with Section Control. The rotors are automatically raised and then lowered again at the headland and tapered field edges, depending on the position of the tractor-swather combination. In other words, the Section Control function controls the lifting and lowering of the rotors both in and at right angles to the direction of travel. To use this function, the Task Controller TC-SC must be activated on the LINER 4700/4800/4900 BUSINESS as well as on the tractor steering system.
Without this automatic feature, in extreme cases this requires operators to have to raise and lower all four rotors individually, which calls for a high degree of concentration and often a reduction in ground speed. Furthermore, operating errors or inaccuracies can adversely affect the area output and quality of work. Automating the process with Section Control reduces complexity when working with large-scale swathers, enabling even less experienced operators to give your fields a clean sweep. On long working days, practised operators will find their workload noticeably reduced, while the risk of operator errors – especially during night shifts – falls considerably.
