As far as I know the 1052 CIH header is the same as the 962 MacDon. We run four of those MacDon and cut about 700 acres of beans with them. Most of them where drilled on irrigated circles. Some of them were planted in 30 inch rows and flood irrigated. The ground was always dry for us. On the flood ground it works a little nicer because the field is usually very even. The circles were not as even, but the headers still did a good job. I think on them flood rows the MacDons cut closer to the ground than a row had does, what we ran last year. You certainly want to go slow, way slower than your combine wants to eat the beans. You also want to adjust the header pitch as far forward as possible to give its suspension the most freeplay.
