Hello all, I am new to Gleaner, recently upgraded my MF 860 to a R62. I am having an issue with the auto reel speed control. I can not get the reel to slow down. I have power into the control module and out to the valve control under the deck. I can not seem to make the wire to the valve control vary in voltage as it is supposed and I don't seem to have any power to the potentiometer. I am wondering if my control module is bad, is there any way of testing this or does anyone have any idea where a problem may exist. Also does any one have any idea on settings to start for peas, the operators manual seems pretty good but it has no settings listed for peas.

Thank You

I had this intermitantly on at least one machine. Swaped out control box with rebuilt and problem reapeared later. Swaped out the potentiometer and problem gone. I'd swap potentiometer first if your problem is intermitant. Know of at least another one with same problem and it was potentiometer also. I'm sure you did try set the minimum reel speed button on the module. Couldn't tell you if you would see any voltage at the potentiometer. No peas around hear so hopefully someone will give you some start out settings. Good luck

hi vas, we harvest peas here in Oz so i dont know if these settings will help, should be a starting point, concave set at number 1 on the sight gauge, rotor speed 400-500rpm, could go slower if the vine is very dry, our conditions are always crispy dry so the fan is always fully open to get fine mog out, we always take top seive out & use a punch hole seive which has 10-12mm round holes depending on size of seed, mainly use this seive to keep rocks & sticks out, may need to fasten a couple of light gauge chains across the seive to stop peas rolling towards the back, hope this helps. Not sure on reel prob.
