The reel speed is fixed to the auger speed and to the knife speed. Both can be changed by installing alternate drive
sprockets. Refer to your auger header operator's manual.

Reel Speed on A40-D Headers

The A40-D Auger Header features a hydraulic direct drive reel with an operating speed range of 15–50 rpm
that is controlled with switches on the cab display module (CDM) and on the ground speed lever (GSL) at the
operator's station.
The hydraulic flows for the reel and auger are interconnected so that the auger and reel speeds are controlled using
the GSL switches.
