Reel Tine Pitch
The reel is designed to pick up flattened and severely lodged crops. It is not always necessary to increase the tine pitch
(select a higher cam setting) to pick up lodged crops, because the cam setting is mainly used to determine how the crop is
delivered onto the drapers.
Finger positioning, relative to the ground (tine pitch), is not significantly affected by the cam setting. For example, with the
cam position range at 33°, the corresponding finger pitch range is only 5° at the lowest point of the reel
’
s rotation.
For the best results, use the minimum cam setting that delivers the crop past the rear edge of the cutterbar and onto the
drapers.
Reel Cam Settings
The following outlines the function of each cam setting and provides setup guidelines for various crop conditions. The
setting numbers are visible above the slots on the cam disc.
If adjustments are necessary, refer to

Cam Position 1
Cam Position 1, Reel Position 6 or 7
delivers the most even
crop flow onto the drapers without fluffing up or disturbing the
material.
•
This setting will release crop close to the cutterbar and
works best if the cutterbar is on the ground.
•
Some crops will not be delivered past the cutterbar when
the cutterbar is raised off the ground and the reel is pushed
forward; therefore, set the initial reel speed approximately
equal to the ground speed.

Cam Position 2
Cam Position 2, Reel Position 3 or 4
is the recommended
starting position for most crops and conditions.
•
If the crop is stalling on the cutterbar when the reel is in the
forward position, increase the cam setting to push the crop
past the rear edge of the cutterbar.
•
If the crop is getting fluffed or if there is a disruption to the
flow across the drapers, decrease the cam setting.
•
This setting generates a fingertip speed that is
approximately 20% faster than the reel speed.
