I just bought this John Deere 55eb with the quick tach feeder housing. It has a newer grain head but it still has the wooden slats on the reel and the slats have teeth rivoted to the wood. These slats also move while the reel is rotating to pull the teeth in as they go past the cross auger.
I have also seen reels that have wooden slats but they have no teeth and the slats have different holes to kind of change the angle of attack of the slats.
Whats the purpose of the different kinds of reels?
