4.7.2 Reel Speed
Refer to your header operator’s manual for recommended reel speed settings for your particular crop.
Reel Speed on A30D Headers
The reel is driven by the auger and both are dependent on the main header drive speed. The auger and reel speed
can only be changed by installing a different size auger drive sprocket, or by varying the windrower engine rpm.
A30D headers do NOT have a reel speed sensor, therefore no reel/auger speed information is displayed on the cab
display module.
Reel Speed on A40D Headers
The A40D Auger Header features a hydraulic direct drive reel with an operating speed range of 50–85 rpm. Reel
speed is controlled by the cab display module (CDM) and the ground speed lever (GSL) in the operator’s station.
The reel drive motor and the auger drive motor are connected in series so changing reel speed also changes auger
speed. The reel cannot be controlled separately. Refer to the following two methods to adjust reel speed:
• To adjust reel speed with the windrower in motion, refer to Adjusting Reel Speed: Windrower in Motion, page
277.
• To set reel speed according to ground speed, refer to Setting Reel to Ground Speed, page 278.
