Kwik-cut constantly breaking sections

Super Steve · Oct 24, 2014

So this is my first time using this head on my white 7300, I managed to get it through wheat but broke a dozen or so sickle sections on it, I replaced all the broken and worn out ones before I started beans. Well today I did a few hundred feet to get a moisture sample of the beans and there is probably a dozen broken again, even the brand new ones I put on the other day. What is causing this? I have no experience with this style so go easy on me. Thanx.

Does the reel have steel pickup teeth on it?

If so maybe the reel is set to lower and the teeth are getting into the sickle.

Check the teeth for groves cut into them or see if the broken sections have notices from the teeth.
