Spindles in the drum wear faster due to dust and plant growth, so sharp edges are essential to grasp cotton. worn spindles reduce pickup and can cause poorer quality, with routine rotation every three seasons or sooner under harsh conditions. Operators often delay maintenance, risking inferior picking results.
