We are running a 2013 635f header with air reel and we're doing some field peas. Sometimes the crop will get hung up on the end of the table. The last foot or two. It'll just sit there and build up. No matter where I position the reel, the air, or set my reel speed or travel speed at it'll still do this. Occasionally it'll do it towards the center of the table too. The table is clean on top and underneath. Any ideas on how to fix this?
635f header poor feeding.

getting the head shined up is probably the problem. you might look into the tilt of the feederhouse if have a contour maser. make sure the reel finger height is correct 1 1/2 inch from the sickle. this adjustment has to be done when you change the aggressiveness of the fingers. finger timing of auger could cause this, fully extended at 3o'clock in relation to the floor. finger height 5/8in . this is in opps manual with a little more info. normally the crop will roll over the center of the auger if the fingers are not times correct so I don't think this is the problem but I could be wrong.
Yeah I unhooked the air the other day just to keep the dust down. Never affected feeding. Head is starting to get shined up. It's an intermittent issue. If it was consistent it would be easier to troubleshoot. I've put the reel in every position. Never touched the fingers. We do have contour master. The peas are standing up.
Ditto that here. Still have a little over 100 acres left and got rained out. Looks like we may be down for at least a week. Have broke over 60 of those fingers this year, havent broke a single one in 8 years of running 635f's. Dustiest, most miserable pea harvest I've seen in 20 years. Would like to know if guys with drapers are having troubles with the peas feeding this year too.Just finished peas. Laying down, standing up. Didn't find a solution. They didn't go quietly this year.I broke an astounding amount of those fiberglass auger teeth sucking in those gobs. F
Most guys I know either swath or swath ahead of the combine so they can use a pickup header, easier to feed the combine.
Another pass I know is a pain and expense, but nothing is worse than flat as a pancake lodged peas. Though pea beaver huts are frustrating as well.... as usual in farming there is no easy way....

Change over to steel fingers and solve the problem permanently.. Wouldn't run another 635 with those stupid composite fingers ever again.. Absolute garbage.. One little wad or reversal and your replacing fingers..Just finished peas. Laying down, standing up. Didn't find a solution. They didn't go quietly this year.
Was going to but the neighbors robbed all the banks in our area to buy theirs b4 I got to them

The reality is we have broke the odd steel finger as well, however as they are designed with a break point , they have never ended up going through the combine. They always drop back into the auger tube where they are designed to when you break one. I stand beside my original statement of the value of the composite fingers..
