What to do if Honey Bee Farm Equipment reel is wrapping in tangled conditions?
- E
  Erik SanchezSep 16, 2025
  If the reel is wrapping in tangled and weedy conditions, it could be due to several factors. First, the reel location might be incorrect, so adjust the reel forward and down. Second, the reel speed might be too fast, so slow the reel until the crop flows smoothly onto the belts. Finally, the reel fingers might not be able to eject material properly, so adjust the reel timing to the next more aggressive setting (lower number).

What to do if cut crop is building up on Honey Bee Tractor Accessories?

  To address cut crop building up and falling from the front of the cutterbar, or loss of grain heads at the cutterbar on your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, make sure the reel is set low enough to sweep material from the cutterbar. Increase ground speed if it's too slow for the crop conditions. Move the reel closer to the cutterbar if it's too far forward. Adjust the angle of the cutterbar using the tilt adjuster at the center of the platform. Decrease the Cut Set Point if the FLEX Cut Set Point is set too high (more than 2”).

  Uneven reel height and fore/aft can be caused by a couple of issues. The reel cylinders might be out of phase. Another potential cause is that the reel stops are not set to the same height. Adjust the reel stops to ensure they are even.
