   So on our 2017 jd 2500e triplex, the right reel only will randomly spin backwards. all other reels work fine. no codes present. when i  restart the machine it will operate normally again. it happens once every few hours. im assuming the right reel controll module is going out but im not shure. please let me know if anyone has had the same issue in the past.

   One never had that problem with a National.

   I ended up figuring this out.  water got in to the backlaping switch and was causing it to ground out the front right reel... causing it to spin backwards. the right reel is the only one spinning counter clock wise cause its mounted opposite from the other two. when you flick the backlaping switch the front left and rear loose ground and the front right gets ground to switch direction or the opposite i forget. this was really interesting just thought i let anyone know for the future.
