Zero turn radius reel

1. A reel comprising:

a drum assembly comprising a drum, first and second drum extensions and drum plates, the drum defining an axis and having opposing first and second ends and configured to receive wound product, the first and second drum extensions extending axially outward from the first and second ends, a drum plate being affixed to each of the first and second ends;

a first flange mounted to the first drum extension;

a second flange mounted to the second drum extension, the second flange comprising a center ring rotatably mounted to the second drum extension, spokes extending radially outward from the center ring and having distal ends, a rim affixed to the distal ends of the spokes, and a plurality of fastener receiving plates disposed between adjacent spokes and defining openings therein;

an outer plate nonrotatably mounted to the second drum extension on a side of the second flange away from the second drum plate so as to capture the second flange between the second drum plate and the outer plate, the outer plate defining a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners; and

a plurality of fasteners; wherein

the fasteners are moveable between a locked position in which the fasteners extend through the openings in the outer plate and into the openings in the fastener receiving plates to secure the second flange in stationary relationship to the second drum extension, and an unlocked position in which the fasteners do not extend into the openings in the fastener receiving plates, thereby allowing the second flange to rotate with respect to the second drum extension.

2. The reel of claim 1 wherein the fasteners are spring loaded pins.

3. The reel of claim 1 wherein the fastener receiving plates define multiple sets of openings, thereby allowing the second flange to be locked in multiple positions with respect to the second drum extension.

4. The reel of claim 1 further comprising:

a locking ring mounted to the second drum extension on a side of the outer drum plate away from the flange, the locking ring defining a plurality of openings; and wherein

the fasteners extend through the plurality of locking ring openings in at least the locked position.

5. The reel of claim 4 wherein:

the openings in the locking ring, the openings in the outer plate and at least some of the openings in the fastener receiving plates are axially aligned.
