What to do if Honey Bee AirFlex 225 reel height is uneven?
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.
What to do if cut crop is building up on Honey Bee AirFlex 225?
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”).
How to stop reel wrapping in tangled conditions on Honey Bee Tractor Accessories?
To resolve reel wrapping in tangled and weedy conditions with your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, adjust the reel forward and down. Slow the reel speed until the crop flows smoothly onto the belts. Adjust the reel timing to the next more aggressive setting (lower number) to help the reel fingers eject material properly.
Why is there uneven feeding of crop on Honey Bee AirFlex 225 Tractor Accessories?
To correct uneven or bunched feeding of crop in your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, adjust the reel settings. Also, adjust the lower stops downward if they are set too high. Ensure proper feeder house conveyor chain tension. Adjust the belt tension, and increase draper tension if it is too loose. Finally, adjust the reel if crop is bunching on the feather plate.
How to prevent reel carrying crops on Honey Bee AirFlex 225?
To prevent reel carrying around crops or excessive shattering of grain heads with your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, slow down the reel speed so it turns slightly faster than the ground speed. Raise the reel height to reduce the amount of straw gathered by the reel. Reduce finger pitch by adjusting the reel timing to the next less aggressive setting (higher number). If the pickup fingers are too tightly spaced, replace the 2.5” spaced reel fingers with 5” spaced reel fingers by removing every 2nd finger.
How to stop crop dividers riding up on Honey Bee AirFlex 225?
To resolve the issue of crop dividers riding up on top of the crop with your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, adjust the crop divider float settings to be ‘heavier’.
What to do if crop is not feeding properly on Honey Bee AirFlex 225?
If the crop is not feeding properly on your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, lower the reels, increase the speed of the power unit/reel, set reel finger timing to be more aggressive, and set reel fore/aft to clear feather plates.
How to fix excessive knife drive loads on Honey Bee Tractor Accessories?
To address excessive knife drive loads or inconsistent cut heights on your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, replace dull knife sections and dull knife guard edges. Inspect for bent guards, a bent cutterbar, or improper position of guards if there is excess binding between the top of knife sections and the top of guard slots.
How to fix uneven reel height on Honey Bee AirFlex 225?
To resolve uneven reel height and fore/aft issues on your Honey Bee Tractor Accessories, rephase the cylinders. The header reel must be running to fully rephase the reel lift cylinders. Also, adjust the reel stops to the same height.
