Feeder House Conveyor Speed (Optional High Speed Feeder House Sprocket)-Changing

causym CAUTION: Raise feeder house, lower safety stop, shut off engine, set parking brake and remove key.

NOTE: 22/38 tooth sprocket is available as a bundle, or included in "Tough Handling Package" option from factory.

Feeder house conveyor chain can be set to two different speeds by selecting drive sprocket (A) on right hand side of lower shaft.

Use small sprocket for low speeds and large sprocket for high speeds.

Important Notes About Running With 38 Tooth Sprocket:

38 tooth sprocket is not recommended for corn.

38 tooth sprocket should only be used with feeder house variable speed drive (if equipped) and set to slowest speed.

38 tooth sprocket is to be used in conditions when feeding is poor due to following crops and conditions:

  • Crops: Barley, Oats, Rice, Rye and Wheat
  • Conditions: High Volume, Green, Wet, Windrowed and Poor Feeding

If conditions are not tough, or as conditions change to improved feeding (dryer, more even windrows, lighter straw), it is recommended to change to the 22 tooth sprocket. This will slow the chain speed, which reduces potential for straw damage or pre-threshing and extends life of feeder house chain.
