Figure 3.118: Finger Profile – Cam Position 2
Cam Position 2, Reel Position 3 or 4 is the recommended
starting position for most crops and conditions.
• If the crop is stalling on the cutterbar when the reel is in the
forward position, increase the cam setting to push the crop
past the rear edge of the cutterbar.
• If the crop is getting fluffed or if there is a disruption to the
flow across the drapers, decrease the cam setting.
• This setting generates a fingertip speed that is
approximately 20% faster than the reel speed.
Figure 3.119: 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 3.120: 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.
