Intelligent cutter bar suspension

Three-dimensional ground tracking is ensured by the freedom of movement enabled by the cutter bar being suspended in the portal frame. The low-slung cantilever system lets the cutter bar glide over bumps and ridges. The guide bars sloping up to the cutter bar provide excellent adaptation to ground contours. A top link guides the top of the mower unit. It is also used to set the cutting height.

Freedom of vertical movement

Two large-dimensioned, easily adjustable suspension springs guarantee optimum ground pressure. The cutter bar is lowered with the portal frame, releasing the cutter bar for perfect ground tracking.

  • Up to 200 mm upwards, the cutter bar is inclined 5° upwards

  • Up to 120 mm downwards, the cutter bar is angled 3° downwards
