4.6.6 Reel
Speed
The reel speed is controlled with switches on the ground speed lever (GSL) in the cab. On D-Series draper
headers, reel speed can be set relative to the ground speed of the windrower using the header index feature
or can run independently. Refer to your header ’s operator manual for specific windrow ing guidelines and
recommended speeds.
Setting Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground speed (using the header index function) allows you to run the engine
at lower rpm while maintaining the desired ground and reel speed. Reducing engine speed saves fuel and reduces
noise in the cab.
Setting the reel to ground speed requires setting the minimum reel speed and the reel index.
