CLEAN AND CLOSE CUTTING
To maximize productivity, the all-new MowMax™ II PLUS true modular cutterbar delivers a cleaner cut. Longer knives extend each module’s cutting diameter by nearly 1 inch (25.4 mm) and turn with a tip speed of 171 mph (275 kph) at 2300 rpm on the Durabine™ 413 PLUS and 195 mph (314 kph) at 2600 rpm on the Durabine 416 PLUS and 419 PLUS, which is 14 mph (22 kph) faster than the previous series (181 mph (291 kph)). For better crop-to-knife engagement, the cast rock guards were reshaped. To improve cutting in light- or late-season crops, the profile of the cutterbar was lowered by bringing the discs closer to the cutterbar with new low profile ShockPRO™ hubs. Along with the longer knives, this design is more productive in down and tangled crops as the cutting height was lowered nearly 30%, leaving less uncut crop behind.
