5.6.2 Reel and Auger Speed

Reel speed is displayed in either rpm, mph, or km/h (depending on the global units selection). The default reel speed is
60 rpm, but it can be adjusted using either AUTO or MANUAL mode.
If the differential auger-reel control is enabled, you can adjust the auger speed separately from the reel speed. If the
differential auger-reel control is not enabled, the reel and auger speeds are hydraulically linked and you cannot adjust the
auger speed separately.
IMPORTANT:
The reel speed on an A40DX Auger Header MUST NOT EXCEED 85 rpm. The auger speed MUST NOT EXCEED 320 rpm.
• AUTO mode: Minimum reel speed and operating reel speed differential relative to ground speed are set, and reel speed
is maintained relative to ground speed. For instructions, refer to
• MANUAL mode: Reel speed is set and is maintained regardless of ground speed. For instructions, refer to
Speed in Manual Mode, page
• Differential auger-reel control engaged: Auger speed is adjusted separately from reel speed. For instructions, refer to
Setting Auger Speed, page
NOTE:
Differential auger-reel control is a standard feature on A40DX GSS Auger Headers. If you are operating an A40DX Auger
Header without the grass seed option, it is optional. Order Reel Speed Control kit (MD #B6604).
