Reel Fore-Aft Position
Reel fore-aft position is a critical factor for achieving the best results in adverse conditions. The reel position is
factory-set for normal conditions, but it can be adjusted forwards or backwards as required using the controls
inside the cab.
The reel can be moved approximately 9 in. (227 mm) further aft by repositioning the fore-aft cylinders on the reel
arms to accommodate certain crop conditions.
For double-reel headers, refer to
Repositioning Fore-Aft Cylinders, page 84
If the combine is equipped with the Multi-Crop Rapid Reel Conversion option, refer to
Cylinders with Multi-Crop Rapid Reel Conversion Option, page 87
.
Decal (A) is attached to the right reel support arm for
identifying reel position. The aft edge of the cam disc (B)
is the reel fore-aft position marker.
For straight standing crop, center the reel over the cutterbar
(4–5 on decal).
For crops that are down, tangled, or leaning, it may be
necessary to move the reel ahead of the cutterbar (lower
number on decal).
IMPORTANT:
If experiencing dif
fi
culty picking up
fl
attened crop, adjust
to a steeper header angle. Refer to
for adjustment instructions. Adjust reel position
only if header angle adjustments are not satisfactory.
For recommended reel positions in speci
fi
c crops and
crop conditions, refer to
3.6.2 Header Settings, page 43
Figure 3.89: Fore-Aft Decal
NOTE:
In crops that are dif
fi
cult to pick up such as rice, or severely lodged crops that require full forward positioning of
the reel, set the reel tine pitch to provide proper placement of the crop onto the drapers. Refer to
for adjustment details.
Adjusting Reel Fore-Aft Position
1. Select FORE-AFT mode on the selector switch in
