Cam Position 4, Reel Position 2 or 3
is used with the reel
fully forward to leave the maximum amount of stubble in
lodged crops.
• This position allows the reel to reach forward and lift the
crop across the knife and onto the drapers.
• This setting generates a
fi
ngertip speed that is
approximately 35% faster than the reel speed.

Cam Position 4, Header Angle At Maximum, and Reel
Fully Forward
provides the maximum amount of reel reach
below the cutterbar to pick up lodged crops.
• Leaves a signi
fi
cant amount of stubble when cutting
height is set to approximately 8 in. (203 mm). In damp
materials such as rice, it’s possible to double the ground
speed because of the reduction of cut material.
• This setting generates a
fi
ngertip speed that is
approximately 35% faster than the reel speed.
NOTE:
Higher cam settings with the reel fore-aft position set
between 4–5 sharply decreases the draper capacity
because the reel disrupts the crop
fl
ow across the
drapers and the
fi
ngers engage the crop that is moving
on the drapers. High cam settings are recommended
only with the reel at, or close to, full forward settings.

IMPORTANT:
The reel to cutterbar clearance should always be checked following adjustments to reel tine pitch and reel fore-aft
position (refer to
5.13.1 Reel Clearance to Cutterbar, page 404
). Refer to
3.6.2 Header Settings, page 43
for
recommended reel tine pitch in speci
fi
c crops and crop conditions.
