OPERATION
4.7.2 Reel Speed
Refer to your header operator’s manual for recommended reel speed settings for your particular crop.
Reel Speed on A30-D Headers
The reel is driven by the auger and both are dependent on the main header drive speed. The auger and reel speed
can only be changed by installing a different size auger drive sprocket, or by varying the windrower engine rpm.
A30-D headers do NOT have a reel speed sensor, therefore no reel/auger speed information is displayed on the
cab display module.
Reel Speed on A40-D Headers
The A40-D Auger Header features a hydraulic direct drive reel with an operating speed range of 50–85 rpm. Reel
speed is controlled by the cab display module (CDM) and the ground speed lever (GSL) in the operator’s station.
The reel drive motor and the auger drive motor are connected in series so changing reel speed also changes auger
speed. The reel cannot be controlled separately. Refer to the following two methods to adjust reel speed:
• Reel On-the-Go (reel and auger speeds change) refer to Adjusting Reel Speed “On The Go”, page 263 .
• Reel to Ground (reel and auger speeds change with ground speed) refer to Setting Reel to Ground Speed, page
264 .
