Extra Information
Features:
Cutting Width: 42' (12.8m) reducing tractors and fuel costs
5-Plex Design: flexibility allows for 118" (3m) transport width
Over-Running Clutch: Provides worry-free shutdowns
Compatible for all row crop cutting: 30", 32", 38", 40" and one meter row spacing
Parallel Solid Tongue Hitch: Maintains even load on the tractor drawbar
Robber Grommet Suspension: reduces shock loading and maintains even cutting
Unique Driveline: With independent rotor clutch protection
Optional Fixed Knife mulching: The Fixed Knife Shredding system equals unsurpassed shredding and spreading of cut material.
Fixed Knife Technology is introduced by fitting two blades, (one above another) on each side of the cutter bar that replaces the jumper pan unit. Stationary fixed knives are then strategically positioned under the deck of the cutter, whereby the two knives pass over and under the fixed knife, slamming the crop residue into the fixed knife. This material is then broken up and distributed evenly across the working width of the machine by making use of baffle plates. The points of each rotating blade split in two and pass by both sides of a fixed blade. The cut plant material or crop residues is then pulled in and carved up.
