Drive Chain
The Model 720 Dew Simulator comes with a drive chain installed, which allows the reel to be ground driven at
a rate where rotation of the reel matched forward movement. This gearing allows the tines to enter and exit the
windrow without significant disturbance or movement of the windrowed material. In heavier windrows, or
windrows that have been raked tightly or raked multiple times, it is possible to run the machine without the
drive chain installed, letting the windrow turn the reel in conditions where the tines are not exiting the windrow
cleanly without pulling excess stems into the wrap guard.
To reinstall the drive chain, lift chain idler upwards, install the chain, and seat the idler sprocket back onto the
chain. Chain tension can be adjusted by tigh
tening or loosening the vertical 3/8” nut on top of the chain
tensioner bracket then locking it in place with the nut underneath the same bracket.
