Long time reader here in North Carolina. I have a new 7120 combine that has been great 1500 acres and no problems.
I have an air reel on and all the trash is getting on top of the feeder housing. Is there something out there to help me clean it off, besides a potato rake? Thanks to all of you that have given me some great ideas in the past.

Happy Harvest!

That's one of the quirks of an air reel. Keep the rake handy.

if its a newer air reel with the steel tube you can go to the hardware store and get some PVC pipe and drill a hole in the steel tube and run that along the header and up close to the feeder to blow a little air up there I've seen this on alot around the midwest or atleast our store we install alot of air reels and this is what we have done it works great and it will keep the feeder clean 1 1/2 or 2 inch PVC works good
