VerifiedHello, My name is XXXXX XXXXX I may be able to help you out. I need to ask a few questions before we get started. Does this unit have an automatic feed control that slows, stops or reverses the feed wheels as the engine load changes? and can you normally adjust the speed of the feed wheels or are they on or off?
