4.7 Operating with A40DX Auger Header
The A40DX auger header has increased windrowing capacity, reliability, conditioning and windrow formation in just about
all hay and forage crops.
For attachment instructions, refer to Attaching A40DX Auger Header, page 148.
4.7.1 Reel and Auger Speed
Reel speed is displayed in either rpm, mph, or km/h (depending on the global units selection). The default reel speed is
60 rpm, but it can be adjusted using either AUTO or MANUAL mode.
If the differential auger-reel control is enabled, you can adjust the auger speed separately from the reel speed. If the
differential auger-reel control is not enabled, the reel and auger speeds are hydraulically linked and you cannot adjust the
auger speed separately.
IMPORTANT:
The reel speed on an A40DX Auger Header MUST NOT EXCEED 85 rpm. The auger speed MUST NOT EXCEED 320 rpm.
• AUTO mode: Minimum reel speed and operating reel speed differential relative to ground speed are set, and reel speed
is maintained relative to ground speed. For instructions, refer to Setting Reel Speed in Auto Mode, page 294.
• MANUAL mode: Reel speed is set and is maintained regardless of ground speed. For instructions, refer to Setting Reel
Speed in Manual Mode, page 296.
• Differential auger-reel control engaged: Auger speed is adjusted separately from reel speed. For instructions, refer to
Setting Auger Speed, page 298.
NOTE:
Differential auger-reel control is a standard feature on A40DX GSS Auger Headers. If you are operating an A40DX Auger
Header without the grass seed option, it is optional. Order Reel Speed Control kit (MD #B6604).
Setting Reel Speed in Auto Mode
This adjustment requires the header to be in operation.
