Reel Position

Reel position will vary according to crop conditions.

Standing Crop

The reel tubes should touch the crop below the ears of grain and hold the crop clear of the auger until cut.

Downed Crop

Set reel low enough so that individual tines pick up the crop and lift it onto the cutterbar without carrying the crop around the reel again. Adjust the tines accordingly.

Possible loss due to improperly adjusted reel

  • Crop downed before being cut.
  • Grain knocked out.
  • Crop wound around the reel.
