SO...reading the manual on the CIH 1660 and doing pretty well with it. I have had tractors most of my life and can operate most anything of those but this is no tractor and I could use a little clarification from time to time while sorting thru 300+ pages of manual. If anyone has a recommendation for another source or board, I am all ears. I know there are a lot of Gleaner fans here but I am sure there are a number of IH guys too. First off...an easy one I think. The term "reel speed" keeps coming up. The combine has the automatic reel speed control. I feel like this is a stupid question, but the reel in question is the one on a grain or bean head, yes? Pulls the cut material into the auger/feeder?
Second, also feel like it is a dumb question, but when they refer to "rotor" is this the big cylinder that runs front to rear in the axial flow combine and basically does the threshing?
Just don't want to read all this without being sure I am on the same page as the writer.
Thanks!
