To feed short beans into the header the reel needs to be run within 3-4 inches of the cutter bar. When you go over a ground hog hole or stone the cutter bar comes up and cuts off the fingers of the reel. If you raise the reel up higher the short beans will not feed in and will slug the feeder house. Would appreicate any experiences you may have had and your solution. This is a new style head and we have had to replace the fingers on the reel.
