What to do if MacDon Farm Equipment does not pick up down crop?
If your MacDon Farm Equipment isn't picking up down crop, it could be due to several factors. The cutterbar might be too high, so lower it. The header angle could be too low, so increase it. The reel might be too high or too far back, so lower it or move it forward, respectively. If the ground speed is too fast for the reel speed, reduce the ground speed or increase the reel speed. If reel fingers aren't lifting the crop sufficiently, increase the finger pitch aggressiveness. Consider installing lifter guards.
Why is cut grain falling ahead of the cutterbar on my MacDon D65 Farm Equipment?
If cut grain is falling ahead of the cutterbar on your MacDon Farm Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. The ground speed or reel speed might be too slow, so increase them. The reel or cutterbar could be too high, so lower them. The reel might also be too far forward, so move it back on the arms. If you're cutting at speeds over 6 mph with a high torque reel drive sprocket, replace it with a standard torque reel drive sprocket. Also, check for worn or broken knife components and replace them if necessary.
