Figure 3.55: Finger Profile – Cam Position 3
Cam Position 3, Reel Position 6 or 7 is mainly used to leave
long stubble.
• This position allows the reel to reach forward and lift the
crop across the knife and onto the drapers.
• This setting generates a fingertip speed that is
approximately 30% faster than the reel speed.
Figure 3.56: Finger Profile – Cam Position 4
Cam Position 4, Reel Position 2 or 3 is used with the reel fully
forward to leave the maximum amount of stubble in
lodged crops.
• This position allows the reel to reach forward and lift the
crop across the knife and onto the drapers.
• This setting generates a fingertip speed that is
approximately 35% faster than the reel speed.
Figure 3.57: Finger Profile – Cam Position 4
Cam Position 4, Header Angle At Maximum, and Reel Fully
Forward provides the maximum amount of reel reach below the
cutterbar to pick up lodged crops.
• This position leaves a significant amount of stubble when
cutting height is set to approximately 203 mm (8 in.). In
damp materials such as rice, it’s possible to double the
ground speed because of the reduction of cut material.
• This setting generates a fingertip speed that is
approximately 35% faster than the reel speed.
NOTE:
Higher cam settings with the reel fore-aft position set between
4–5 sharply decreases the draper capacity because the reel
disrupts the crop flow across the drapers and the fingers engage
the crop that is moving on the drapers. High cam settings are
recommended only with the reel at, or close to, full forward settings.
IMPORTANT:
The reel to cutterbar clearance should always be checked following adjustments to reel tine pitch and reel fore-aft position.
For instructions, refer to 4.10.1 Reel Clearance to Cutterbar, page 197.
