We run 3 9860's and are finding that the contour master cylinder is kind of slow for a 36 foot draper. On one machine we put one a full length auger to try and straight cut canola,and it doesn't tilt in anymore,have to put header all the way down to bring it back to center from right tilt. 70 series cylinder is a lot bigger .but doesn't fit 60 series. anybody have a solution to this.

I have never been able to understand how you can run contour master
in combination with a spring suspension with out some sort of balance fight between the two.
Can you explain that to me?
Or when you run contour master is spring float locked out?

Change E01 address 115, Range is 2-8, 2 is fast and 8 is slow, default is 6. Only change this one number and then try it if need to be faster then go to the next number.

Your right Don, contour should not be used with a draper. When a draper is hooked to a Case-IH the lateral tilt is locked out at center position and both manual and auto will not function for the balance issue you mention and the effects it has on the spring suspension. Doesn't Deere lock the contour function out with a draper head?

I run a 2007 CIH 8010 and the tilt is not locked out. I use it all the time when I move between fields to get over fence posts and stuff. I even use it in the field when my draper needs a little help in uneven rolling ground. I wish they'd tie in the tilt option so that it could work on auto with the draper headers.

I stand corrected, the lateral tilt does function in manual only not automatic.

I should have mention that we did install headsight sensors on our drapers.they do work in with contour master but just find them a little slow.Again most of our problems are with the one with added weight. thanks for the info Tom its been raining here for a few days, will try it on Monday.

a buddy just put it on a 7010 and they work great, he has a honeybee 36, draper head

Honeybee has available header height sensors that read off of the leaf springs and will tilt the feeder to equalize the weight on each leaf spring automatically.
