What do you mean by "leaving wheat behind"IJ Is it cut of and falling out of the header. Does it get shuffed under the draper and run outIJ Or do you not getting it cut off and leaving a skipIJ

Yes had that problem with very short crops. Centre belt can't pick up short crop so it just pushes a strip in the middle. After doing 2 centre belts, 2 bearings one roller, a spring, 3 hoses, a flat tyre, a knife head and replacing both draper belts in the first 1000 hours, I swapped it for a new 1010 front before the 1042 broke me.

the 1042 is leaving uncut wheat behind in a strip inline with the centre draper seems to do it worse in crops that are down any IdeasIJ
