3.7.11 Reel Fore-Aft Position

Reel fore-aft position is a critical factor for achieving the best results in adverse conditions. The factory-set reel
position suits normal conditions, but the fore-aft position can be adjusted as required using the controls inside the
cab.
The reel on non-European-configured headers can be moved approximately 227 mm (9 in.) farther aft by
repositioning the fore-aft cylinders on the header's reel arms to accommodate certain crop conditions. Refer to
