Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this New

Holland HW “5” Series Speedrower™ clinic. Our goal is to

enhance your awareness of product features and function,

as well as certain maintenance procedures and products

that will prolong the life of your windrower.

These Performance Tips contain information about

maintenance and adjustments of self-propelled windrowers,

sickle headers, and disc headers. This manual is not

intended to replace the Operator's or Repair Manuals.

Rather, it is a quick reference booklet that will supplement

these manuals.

Helpful hints and operating suggestions in this booklet

have been assembled by listening to the experiences of

windrower owners just like you. If your windrower is

operated or maintained by more than one person, be sure

to share helpful hints in this guide with all operators to

keep your machine working at top efficiency.

SAFETY

A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be

avoided by observing certain precautions. Be sure to read the

full list of precautionary statements in the Operator's Manual.

If your Operator's Manual becomes lost or damaged, ask your

dealer to get you a new manual for your unit.

We value our customers, and hope that each season is safe and

productive. Sometimes, in the rush to get the job done, safety

vigilance fails–and the risk of an accident soars. Never

attempt to save a moment by compromising safety–the result

can cost more time than ever was saved–and sometimes the

cost may be immeasurable. Here are some of the most

important safety precautions that pertain to normal operation.

General Safety Rules

• Read the Operator's Manual thoroughly before starting,

operating, servicing or carrying out any other operation on

the machine. The time invested in reviewing the manual

will pay off in terms of time saved later.

• Read all the safety decals on the machine and follow the

instructions. Immediately replace any decals that are

missing or damaged.

• The windrower should be operated only by responsible

individuals, who are familiar with the machine.

• Avoid fire hazards by keeping the windrower clean.

Inspect the unit daily for signs of hydraulic leaks,

and have leaks repaired before further use.

• A fire extinguisher should be mounted on the windrower,

easily accessible from the ground and away from moving

parts and areas where debris is likely to accumulate. The

presence of hydraulic and lubricating oil dictate that an

ABC extinguisher is the best choice.

• To stop the windrower, return the Multi-Function Handle

(MFH) to neutral, engage the parking brake, center the

steering wheel to the locked position, and stop the engine

before leaving the seat. The neutral lock should always be

engaged when the windrower is stopped.

• Always use the seat belt when operating the windrower

• Be sure everyone is clear of the windrower before starting

the engine. The parking brake must be engaged, MFH in

neutral and the steering wheel centered before the engine

will start.

• When going down a steep grade, pull the MFH back

toward neutral to slow ground speed. Place the range

selector switch into the field range position on very

steep slopes.

• Moving the steering wheel from center with the MFH in

neutral will allow the windrower to turn in place. Set the

Parking Brake to keep the windrower from turning when

the MFH is in neutral.

• When moving forward, the windrower turns the direction

the steering wheel is turned. When moving in reverse, the

windrower turns OPPOSITE the direction the wheel is

turned. In reverse, hold the steering wheel at the back

of the rim and move your hand in the direction you want

to go.

• When driving the windrower on the road or highway, use

a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem and the proper

accessory lights for adequate warning to the operators of

other vehicles. Check local traffic regulations concerning

the use of warning devices. DO NOT use rear work lights

when operating on a public road, as they could be mistaken

for an oncoming vehicle. See Operator's Manual for

complete safety information for transporting or hauling

the windrower.

• Never idle the engine in a closed area. Harmful and

potentially lethal exhaust gases may accumulate. Carbon

monoxide is colorless, odorless, and deadly; and is often

present in exhaust fumes.

• Header locks are built into the header lift system to lock

the header in the raised position.

IMPORTANT: Lock the header on both sides before workingunder a raised header, adjusting skid shoes, or prior to

transporting the unit on a public road.

• Disengage the header drive, lower or lock the header up,

shut off the engine, and engage the parking brake before

attempting any adjustments or trying to disconnect

the header.

• If stones and other foreign objects are carried into the

conditioner rolls, the objects can be thrown toward the

operator, possibly resulting in physical injury.

• Use care when driving the windrower without the header.

Steering is much more responsive when the header is

not installed.

• Be sure all guards and shields are in place before operating

the machine. Never modify or revise guards or shields.

• Never operate the windrower engine while it is being

refueled. DO NOT smoke in the refueling area.

BASIC CONFIGURATION SPECIFICATIONS

The New Holland HW “5” Series self-propelled SpeedRower™

is designed to harvest a variety of crops when combined with

any of a number of header types. To further the flexibility of

these market leading windrowers, several header models and

cutting widths are available for cutting hay crops including

sickle bar with conditioner; and rotary disc cutter bar, with

or without conditioner. Sickle bar draper, and specialty grass

seed headers, both without conditioners, are available.

Four basic models make up the HW “5” Series, equipped

with four or six cylinder diesel engines ranging from 98 to

225 horsepower. All units are equipped with individual front

wheel hydrostatic drive and steering for optimum

performance and handling. HS Series sickle hay headers

are available from 12' 3" to 18' 3", and disc hay headers

are available in the 15' 5" Model 2355 and 18' Model 2358.

HB Series Draper headers up to 36'can be used on the

HW “5” Series.

The New Holland HW “5” Series Speedrower is equipped

with an Electronic Display that provides engine, header and

hydraulic system information to the operator during operation.

The Main Control Module (MCM) sends electrical signals to

control hydraulic valves, turn signals, brake lights and the

engine fuel solenoid. The MCM also sends signals to the

electronic displacement control valve on the header drive pump.

Windrower Operation Safety (cont.)

• When using battery jumper cables, the last connection

must be made away from the windrower battery to avoid

sparks which may ignite explosive battery gases and

result in an explosion and fire.

• It is dangerous to remove the radiator cap while the

system is hot because the system is under pressure.

Let the system cool, or cover the cap with a rag, and

slowly turn the cap to the first stop to allow the pressure

to escape before removing the cap completely.

• Never use ether starting fluid. An explosion will result

that could severely damage the engine.

Windrower Service and

Maintenance Safety

• Batteries normally produce explosive gases that cancause personal injury. DO NOT allow flames or sparksto come near the batteries. Always wear eye protectionwhen charging or working near a battery, and provideadequate ventilation.

• Lift a plastic-cased battery with a battery carrier or withgloved hands on opposite corners of the battery.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. In case of contact withskin or eyes, flush the affected area with water for fiveminutes and seek medical attention immediately. If acidis swallowed, call a physician immediately.

• Avoid contact with hot engine oil. If the engine isextremely hot, allow oil to cool to a moderately warmtemperature before attempting to drain the oil.

• Whenever jacking under the main drive wheels, be surethe machine is on level ground and securely blocked toprevent the tail wheels from swiveling.

• Diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid under pressure can have

sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Serious infection

or reaction can develop if medical treatment is not

administered immediately. Because of the high pressure

in the hydraulic system, use only genuine factory parts

and hoses for repairing these systems. Refer service

operations to dealer technicians who are trained in safe

service procedures.

• Relief valves in the hydrostatic drive system and in the

header drive system are not adjustable. Check with your

dealer's service department if you have problems with the

hydraulic or hydrostatic system.

• The header flotation accumulators store hydraulic fluid

under pressure. Relieve pressure at the main control

block bleed valve before loosening any hydraulic fittings

in the header lift system. Contact your New Holland

dealer for assistance and additional information.

• When adjusting the friction on the MFH, always

lock the jam nuts together once this adjustment is

completed. Failure to do so could lock the MFH.

• If welding must be performed on either the tractor or

the attached header, the battery ground strap must be

disconnected from the battery to prevent damage to

the windrower electronic system and other electrical

components. Reinstall the battery ground strap when

welding is complete.

• DO NOT weld on wheels. Welding on wheels may cause

high stress and a wheel failure.

• DO NOT weld on wheels with a mounted tire. Welding

on wheels with a mounted tire may cause the tire to

burst, causing death or serious injury.

Take Full Advantage of its Capabilities

■ Getting the most from your New Holland windrower is the purpose of this booklet.

■ New Holland wants to help owners achieve peak efficiency from all of their equipment.

Have you, or someone you know, purchased a new windrower in the last few years and continued to use it in much the same way as

the windrower it replaced? Many times we fail to take advantage of the advanced features available on today’s modern equipment,

such as the Windrower Electronic Display. As a result the owner may not be getting all the value from the money spent.

Many of the items suggested in this booklet can be completed by the owner when preparing for the season or by the operator

when starting a new field. Other adjustments, service procedures, or repairs might be more effectively completed by your

dealer’s trained service technicians.

New Holland Maintenance Inspections —

Ask your New Holland dealer about New Holland Maintenance Inspections. It is a proactive way to be sure your

windrower will operate at its best possible performance in demanding conditions.

New Holland Maintenance Inspections include a visual and functional inspection of your windrower. They can be used

as a pre-season or as a post-season tune-up. Benefits include:

The combined advantages of New Holland Maintenance Inspections should

result in a lower cost of ownership and higher resale values.

• Increased productivity

• Less downtime during the season

• Lower operating costs

• Improved fuel economy

• Documented maintenance

• Serviced by New Holland-trained service professionals

Attaching the Header

Step-by-step procedures for installation of the various heads

are included in the Operator's Manual. Basic steps include:

• Apply a liberal coating of multipurpose grease to the lift

cups on the windrower lift arms

• Position the lift cups directly below the lift bushings on

the header

• Raise the lift arms until the lift cups are seated on

the bushings

• Remove the pin holding the tilt cylinder in the storage

position. The pin is used to connect tilt cylinder to header

on sickle and disc headers. (Draper headers use a separate

pin. DO NOT reinstall the pin in one of the holes on the

cylinder support. The cylinder will be bent and damaged

if the pin is installed in one of the support holes).

• Attach the tilt cylinder to the header

Disc Header Tilt Cylinder Installation

The cylinder is connected to the front hole on the header for

most crop conditions (see figure 12.1).

• In severely lodged crop, or difficult cutting conditions,

connect the cylinder to the rear hole on the header to

provide a lower cutting height

Continue with Header Installation:

• Raise the header and install the header lift locks

• Install the header lift arm retaining pins

• Connect hydraulic lines and the wire

harness connector

• Remove the header lift lock pins

• Check and adjust the header flotation

Header Flotation

Hydraulic accumulators replace springs on the HW Series

flotation system. Speedrower windrowers with 4 cylinder

engines are equipped with one accumulator to control

flotation, and Speedrowers with 6 cylinder engines are

equipped with 2 accumulators to control flotation.

• Accumulator(s) are automatically charged when the

header is lowered, and the header raise/lower switch

is held in the “lower” position until the “Charging

Accumulators” On-demand line disappears from the

display (see figure 12.2).

Header Flotation - (cont.)

IMPORTANT: Be sure the header lift arms and center link (tilt cylinder) are completely installed and locked before chargingaccumulators. The header could be tipped forward unexpectedly if not properly connected.

The header flotation is checked by observing the lifting force at each end of the header that will start to lift the header from the

ground (see figure 12.3).

• Sickle and draper headers should be set so a 70-100 lb. force will lift the header

• Disc headers should be set so a 100-150 lb. force will lift the header

• Flotation is adjusted by pressing the increase or decrease side of the flotation switch(s) on the right hand console

(see figure 12.4)

• Four cylinder windrowers have one flotation adjustment switch. Individual switches are provided for the right and left

flotation cylinders on 6 cylinder models.

IMPORTANT: On windrowers with the rear axle suspension system, pin both axles rigid before removing the header.

Header Operating Mode – Disc Headers

Automatic Mode Standard

• Disc speed is set by the operator, and is maintained regardless of engine RPM or crop loading

• In heavy, difficult-to-cut crops, header speed will be maintained even if the engine lugs down

• In light, easy cutting crops, it is possible to reduce engine speed to reduce fuel consumption while maintaining the selected

header speed

• Electronic Display reads actual disc RPM (Selection line 05)

Sickle Headers

Optional Automatic or Manual Header reel speed control is available to adapt HW Windrowers equipped with sickle heads and

hydraulic reel drive to specific crop conditions.

Automatic Mode (sickle headers with optional hydraulic reel drive)

• Reel speed is synchronized with ground speed. As the MFH is moved to increase or decrease speed, the reel responds to

maintain the desired reel-to-ground speed ratio

• Electronic Display reads percentage of reel overspeed (Selection line 09, “A” indicates Auto mode)

Manual Mode (sickle headers)

• The reel speed switch directly controls reel speed, which varies with engine speed

• Electronic Display reads actual reel RPM (Selection line 09, “M” indicates Manual mode)

Selecting the Reel Operating Mode

• The reel Mode rocker switch is located in the Right Hand Console aft of the PTO switch, and can be placed in either the

“Auto” or “Manual” mode

Basic Windrower Adjustment —

Sickle Header Applications

To obtain top performance from the self-propelled windrower,

the following steps should be followed.

Header Flotation

The header flotation should be set so a 70 - 100 lbs. lifting

force at each end will start to lift the header from the ground

(see figure 16.1).

• In rough or stony conditions, reduce header

flotation force to 35-50 lbs.

• If the header is too light, the header will bounce

creating uneven cut height, poor crop feeding

and poor windrow or swath appearance

• If the header is too heavy, the header will not

float properly over obstacles causing cutter bar,

guard and knife damage effecting guard/knife

alignment and adjustment. This then will affect

cutting and feeding of the crop.

Cutting Height

The cutting height is controlled by skid shoe height setting

and cutter bar angle, adjusted with the header tilt cylinder

(see figure 16.2).

NOTE: Changing the cutterbar angle will change the headerflotation. After adjusting the cutterbar angle, re-adjust the

header flotation as required.

Cutterbar Angle

Normal cutting conditions

• Adjust the guard angle to the mid-tilt range

Tough cutting conditions;

• For down crop, increase the guard angle to

maximum tilt

• For dead, wet undergrowth, reduce the guard

angle to minimum tilt

Rough or stony conditions

• Set the guard angle to minimum tilt

Skid Shoe Settings

Changing the skid shoe setting will change the header

flotation. After adjusting the skid shoe setting, re-adjust

the header flotation as required.

Normal cutting conditions;

• Set the skid shoes at the desired cutting height

Tough cutting conditions

• For down crop, raise the skid shoes to lower

cutting height to get under the down crop

• For dead, wet undergrowth, lower skid shoes to raise

cutting height

For rough or stony conditions

• Lower skid shoes to raise cutting height

Cutter Bar Shimming –

Standard Guards

The HS Series headers use two counter-stroking knives,

which overlap by two sections in the center of the

cutter bar (see figure 20.1).

• Proper shimming of the guards and hold-down clips is

required, to allow the knives to overlap properly in the

center of the cutter bar. (When shimmed properly the left

knife assembly should be 0.120" lower than the right

knife assembly).

• When removing and installing guards and knife hold-down

clips, ensure that shims are re-installed properly

Knife Hold-down Clip Adjustment

HS series headers with standard guards have adjustable

hold-down clips spaced across the cutter bar. The lip at the

rear edge of the clip holds the rear of the section in place

(see figure 20.2).

• There should be a clearance of 0.005 - 0.025" between

the knife section and the clip

• Adjust the clearance by tightening the nut to obtain

a clearance of less than 0.020' between the clip and

knife section

• If the clearance is less than 0.020", the knife may not

move freely

• A 0.010" shim may be required between the knife clip

and cutterbar to obtain the proper clearance

NOTE #1: In cane crops, sometimes it is better to have the auger-to-stripper clearance as close as possible and sometimes it is better to have the auger fully raised. The type andvolume of crop will determine which is better.

NOTE #2: Paddles can be added or removed from the auger to aid in making windrows or swaths. The determining factors for adding or removing paddles are: header width, volume of crop, and windrow or swathwidth. For extra wide cut width, it is necessary to move the crop further into the center of the header for a uniform windrow or swath. Set your windrow or swath width and then add or remove paddles toobtain desired windrow or swath. The 16HS headers do not come with the two outside paddles. The 18HS headers have paddles on the outside.

NOTE #3: In some instances, lowering the push bar all the way down and slowing ground speed, in very tall timothy or cane crops may help feeding of crop.

Basic Windrower Adjustments –

Disc Header Applications

Header Flotation

The header flotation should be set so that a 100-150 lbs.

force applied at each end of the header will start to lift it

from the ground.

DO NOT exceed 150 lbs. flotation force. Damage to the

header may occur.

If the header flotation is not set properly, the following

conditions may be observed:

• If the header is too light, the header will bounce, creating

uneven cut height, poor crop feeding, and poor windrow

or swath appearance

• If the header is too heavy, the header will not float

properly over obstacles causing cutter bar, disc and knife

damage, and subsequent cutting and feeding problems

Cutting Height

The cutting height is adjustable by changing the header angle.

• Header angle is adjustable between 2˚ and 8˚ with an

approximate cutting height range of 1-1/2" to 3" when the

tilt cylinder is installed in the front hole on the header

• Placing the cylinder in the rear hole on the header

changes tilt from 5˚ to 10˚, with approximate cutting

height range of 1" to 2-1/4"

Minimum Tilt

• Used in stony field conditions

• When cutting new seeding, (first cutting) to prevent

pulling the crop from the ground

• When longer stubble is desired

Mid Position Tilt

• Used for normal crop conditions

Maximum Tilt

• Used in tough cutting conditions

• Down crop conditions

• Dead, wet undergrowth conditions

The high stubble kit can be installed to provide a higher

cutting height for clipping pastures or for crops where higher

stubble is desired.

Cutter Bar Inspection

IMPORTANT: Lock the header on both sides before workingunder a raised header, adjusting skid shoes, or prior to

transporting the unit on a public road.

The cutter bar should be inspected on a regular basis to

prevent extensive repairs and down time (see figure 24.1).

Check components for:

• Knives – damage; broken, bent, missing, and loose

hardware

• Lifters – damage; bent, cracked, and loose or missing

hardware

• Discs – damage; bent, cracked, and loose or missing

hardware

• Disc timing – discs should be tangent to each other.

(If the discs are not timed properly, it may indicate

internal cutter bar damage.)

Inspection Procedure

Starting at one end of the cutter bar, try to rock each disc

up and down. A small amount of movement, approximately

0.060", is normal.

• If excessive movement is determined, loose disc hub

retaining hardware or top cap bearing wear or damage

is indicated

• With gloved hands, start at one end of the cutter bar and

work down the cutter bar, slowly rotate one disc while

holding the adjacent disc against the direction of rotation

If one disc suddenly moves or excessive free play is

felt, internal wear or damage is indicated.

Figure 24.1

Basic Windrower Adjustments – Disc Header Applications (cont.)

Roll Gap

a. Normal cutting conditions

• Roll gap, 1/64"-1/8"

b. Thick stemmed crops

• Increase roll gap to 1/4" or greater

Setting the Header Operating Speed

Disc header speed can be changed during operation by pressing and releasing the header speed control rocker switch on the

control console.

• Engage and operate the header at full engine speed

• Press and release the front of the header speed rocker switch to increase the header speed

• Press and release the rear of the header speed rocker switch to decrease the header speed

• The header speed will change approximately 100 RPM for every press of the switch

• Set header speed can be changed any time during operation. The electronics will maintain header speed.

The following chart is a guide for header and engine speeds for a variety of crops (see table 25.1). Actual speeds will depend

on crop conditions, field conditions and terrain. A good starting point for the first time in a crop not listed is 2200-2300 RPM.
