The MacDon flex drapers only use the caster wheels when they are locked rigid for cutting wheat and leaving a tall stubble. The wheels stabilize the head and keep it from rocking back and forth. They are not intended to be used for height control.When the head is unlocked and flexible the wheels are not used because the cutterbar slides on the ground, so the ground acts as the stabilizer.
It's a really neat head for cutting beans. They feed soooooo smooth. I had to learn the hard way that wet or tough beans feed just as smoothly as dry beans so you don't have as many warning signs right before the combine slugs. Jim
