TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION REF.
REEL (continued)
Reel carrying crop over
causing improper reel
delivery.
Tall grain or nodding
varieties of crops catch
on reel bats and arms.
Add a second reel bat to
each to increase width.
(Reel arms have extra
holes.)
---
Reel speed too fast. Reduce speed of reel so
crop will not carry over top
of reel. Reel should turn just
enough faster than ground
speed so that crop heads
are laid well back on
drapers.
24
Reel height too low. Raise reel so bat contacts
higher on plant.
