Harvesting in Tough Feeding Crop Conditions
Move reel rearward to insure cut, heavy crop is transferred to the draper belts. Operate the feed drum with the fingers rotated fully clockwise and with the feed drum lowered to sweep the rear of the center belt aggressively. Increase belt speed so that the heavy cut crop material does not accumulate at the outside edges of the center belt. Excess material at the center belt edges can result in crop material being pulled under the side belts. If necessary, shift the side belts inward for more side-to-center belt overlap (See ADJUSTMENTS - FEEDING RELATED section of this manual).
In tough conditions, remove sump pan (if equipped) to reduce resistance to crop material which can recirculate under center belt (See ADJUSTMENTS - FEEDING RELATED section of this manual).
