3.7.11 Reel Tine Pitch
The pick-up reel is designed to pick up flattened and severely lodged crops. It is not always necessary to increase
the tine pitch (select a higher cam setting) to pick up lodged crops, however, because the cam setting is mainly
used to determine how the crop gets delivered onto the drapers.
The positioning of the fingers relative to the ground (tine pitch) is not significantly affected by the cam setting. For
example, with the cam position range at 33°, the corresponding finger pitch range is only 5° at the lowest point of
the reel’s rotation.
For the best results, use the minimum cam setting that delivers the crop past the rear edge of the cutterbar and
onto the drapers. Refer to 3.6.2 Header Settings, page 42.
Reel Cam Settings
The following outlines the function of each cam setting and provides set-up guidelines for various crop conditions.
The setting numbers are visible above the slots on the cam disc. Refer to Adjusting Reel Cam, page 94 if
adjustments are necessary.
