Case FHX300 Pull-Type Forage Harvester Operator Manual (91823167)

When you’re pulling an FHX300 behind a tractor, you’re usually chopping corn or haylage in tight windows, often in rough fields and dusty conditions. This operator manual is what I’d keep handy to run the controls correctly, set up the machine for the crop, and shut it down without abusing the driveline or cutterhead. If, for example, the feed rolls start plugging or the crop isn’t blowing clean into the wagon, this is the book I’d use to walk the operator through the correct startup sequence, feed-roll engagement, and daily checks before we start tearing into parts.

Applications & Use Cases

• Show a new operator how to engage PTO, clutches, and feed rolls in the right order so nothing gets shock-loaded.
• Trace odd noises or vibration back to missed daily inspections like loose knives, shear bolts, or chains.
• Verify spout and deflector adjustments so you’re not wasting time and fuel fighting poor wagon filling.
• Set up sharpening and shearbar habits that protect the cutterhead instead of grinding it away.
• Build a simple field checklist for lubrication, debris cleanout, and shutdown at the end of each day.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on my phone or tablet in the field?

A: Yes, a digital copy works well; just download it in advance so you can zoom diagrams and read steps without needing cell service.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of this manual?

A: I’d print the startup/shutdown pages and daily checklists, laminate them, and keep them in the tractor for quick reference.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s shutdown and lockout steps before you inspect, clear plugs, or adjust anything on the harvester.
