ABSTRACT:
An agricultural harvesting machine includes a feeder housing and a cutting platform attached to the feeder housing. The cutting platform includes at least one platform section, with each platform section having a frame, a cutterbar assembly at a leading edge of the platform section, and an excessive localized deflection indicator associated with the cutterbar assembly. One or more pairs of reel support arms are provided, with each pair associated with a corresponding reel. Each pair of reel support arms is movable toward and away from the cutterbar assembly, dependent upon a state of the excessive localized deflection indicator.
