Installing Tines & Tips
The reel assembly is shipped with 65 tines installed, each with a size MW11 tip (below left). There are 20 plugs
installed on the outermost holes of the reel assembly as well that can be removed
using a 3/8” Allen wrench
and replaced with additional tines & tips (below right) if operating in wide windrows.

Below are illustrations of the 8 and 9 Tine Cross Tube Assemblies located on the reel assembly. There are five
of each cross-tube assemblies (below).
Each cross tube has two holes with a plug in the tube. If the width of
the windrow is wider than 45.5” covered
by the initial 65 tine & tip assembles installed, adding additional tips will be necessary. Remove the plugs using
a
3/8” Allen and add in the new tine & tip assemblies. Each additional set of 10 tips will increase the width of
coverage by 6.5” with a maximum increase of 13”. It is recommended to use Teflon tape or liquid thread
sealant on the threads and tighten to approximately 150ft/lbs.
Tip and tine assemblies can also be removed and replaced with plugs to reduce the coverage for thin, light, or
narrow windrows.
**For two windrows that are raked together and are laying side by side forming a ‘valley’
between the two windrows, it may be beneficial to remove a row or two of tines in the center of the reel and
move them to the outside to prevent applying too much moisture to the lighter material between the two
windrows.
