Reel Speed

For best feeding of the crop into the windrower,
the reel speed must be faster than ground
speed. This gently sweeps material across the
sickle into the auger. A slower reel speed will
reduce crop carry-over, while a faster reel speed
will result in a more even stubble height in down
and tangled crops.

The A30 reel speed is fixed to the engine rpm
and auger speed. An optional 19 tooth drive
sprocket provides
