MEGACUTTER™ DISC CUTTERBARMEGACUTTER™ DISC CUTTERBAR

• RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

  A fully welded and sealed cutterbar gear case with an integral box beam support provides the rugged strength and flexibility required for challenging mowing conditions. End feed-cones and intermediate discs stations are secured with bolts and bushing spacers for a positive connection to the top and bottom of the gear case for extra reliability. Specially machined gearwheels, dependable steel-bearing cages, integrated drive train protection, and a large oil reservoir capacity lead to reliable, quiet, and cool operation.

• THREE LEVELS OF PROTECTION

  In the event of a collision, three levels of protection safeguard the MegaCutter disc cutterbar:

• 

  1. ROUND DISC PROFILE BY DESIGN

  The round disc profile does not produce the wind forces typical of fast-rotating oval discs, allowing for cleaner cutting and uniform crop flow to the conditioning system, without the “pulses” of material typical of oval discs. Also, the round disc profile is less susceptible to damage from stones or debris that jam traditional oval-shaped discs.

• 

  2. A SMOOTH ROCK GUARD PROFILE WITH DISCS SET BACK

  Discs are set back from the front of the rock guards, improving each disc’s protection against direct collision with an obstruction. The long, angled knives and smooth rock guard profile help to provide outstanding cutting quality and reduce the tendency for soil buildup between discs often seen in new seeding and sticky soils.

• 

  3. INTEGRATED DISC DRIVE PROTECTION

  Each disc drive station features a shear-key system that protects the cutterbar drive from severe collisions by absorbing the impact and retaining the disc. A damaged disc station can be replaced quickly in the field for maximum up-time while mowing, and the damaged station can later be rebuilt and reused.
