- Complete gear lubrication , even when cutting on slopes or at an angle
- Austempered discs for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions
- A protective liner in the hood helps reduce rock damage
- Heavy-duty gears and cross shafts
Shock Protection System
- Protects key disc module drive components when a disc encounters a field obstacle
- Easier in-field repairs
- Dramatically reduces downtime
- Lower replacement-part cost
- Standard on all rotary disc header models
Heavy Duty Knives
- One-bolt knives that are reversible for twice the cutting life
- A knife speed of 187 mph (301 kph)
- A cutterbar angle that adjusts hydraulically from 2–10 degrees below horizontal using the in-cab switch
The Most Options to Fit Your Operation
