No hands control of combine header COMBINES Accessories 14-4-11 A pair of dimmer switches installed on the floor of Paul Deatz's combine cab let the Rock Port, Mo., farmer control his header without using his hands.
One switch turns the header's float control on and off. The other switch controls the electric clutch for the feeder-house and header. As Deatz approaches the end of the field, he clicks the float control off, then turns the header off with the other switch as he makes the corner.
"Disengaging the equipment prevents extra wear to the header," says Deatz. "The switch that controls the electric clutch for the feederhouse and header is really handy because my right hand is already busy when I turn around at the end of the field. I wired the switches so I an still use the original electric clutch button."
