NOTE:
• Adjust the reel forward to get closer to the ground while tilting the header back. Fingers/tines will dig into the
ground at extreme reel-forward positions, so adjust skid shoes or header angle to compensate. Adjust the reel
rearwards to position the reel further away from the ground when tilting the header forward.
• Header tilt can be increased to position the reel closer to the ground, or decreased to position the reel further
from the ground, while keeping material
fl
owing onto drapers.
• To leave the maximum amount of stubble behind in lodged crop, raise the header and increase the header tilt to
keep the reel close to the ground. Position the reel fully forward.
• The reel may have to be moved back to prevent lumps or plugging on the cutterbar in thinner crops.
• Minimum crop carrying capacity (minimum area of exposed draper between the reel and the header backsheet)
occurs with the reel in the furthest aft position.
• Maximum crop carrying capacity (maximum area of exposed draper between the reel and the header backsheet)
occurs with the reel in the furthest forward position.
• The tip speed of the
fi
ngers/tines at the cutterbar becomes higher than the reel speed at higher cam settings
due to the nature of the cam action. Refer to Table
