Try moving your reel out ahead of the cutterbar. I run mine at 4 and if I get it in to 7 or closer it will wrap. Also maybe your pitch on your pickup teeth is to aggressive

I've wrapped hemp on my split reel - very little canola , not enough to stop a machine
This is on 30 feet - 972

Good to know, as I was already thinkin I'd want a one piece reel next time I upgrade-

I saw this same question on agtalk yesterday, the one response was Rep here said to remove the anti wrap shield in the middle to keep it from wrapping...seriously.

There isn't a anti wrap shield on the swather head only on flex-drapers.

We have the same machine....same problem. It hasnt been a major issue yet but is still annoying.

You might be a little too aggressive with the reel. Lift it up and let it out a little (like mentioned above) and use it to help bring the canola onto the drapers and not thrash it so much as it moves to the Center. Time the reel speed so it is just a bit faster than the ground speed. We never have wrapping problems in the Center unless there is an operator issue or settings issue. There is usually a plant or two hanging off the Center drive motor or arm at times but it never causes an issue.
