We have a 1998 Gleaner R52 with a 800 series flex header. The auto header height has always worked great on this combine until lately. It is very jerky going down, and when it reaches the down position it bounces up and down. It goes up about 6 inches then falls down. I had the accumulator recharged, didn't help, then we cleaned the sensors on the ends of the header and the problem seemed to clear up. Cleaning the sensors seemed to solve the problem, but I guess I am wondering why dirty sensors would make it jerk while lowering through mid air.
I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem and what cause and solution you came up with? Ours is fixed for the moment, and hope it stays fixed.
