4.1- Blades of the feeding drums
The Harvester comes with 6 blades mounted on the feeding drums. Each feeding
drum contains 1 wide blade and 2 narrow blades. This arrangement is indicated
for most crops and harvesting conditions.
In general, there is no need to change the blades. However, under certain
harvesting conditions, the use of a different arrangement may yield a better
result. If necessary, you can change the blades by observing the following:
Crops with hard and thick stems: only narrow blades can be used on both
feeding drums. There are 3 narrow blades on each feeding drum.
Crops with soft and fine stems: You can use only the wide blades on the two
feeding drums. There are 3 wide blades on each feeding drum.
Along with the machine, there is a spare blade kit, containing:
2 narrow blades (1 right and 1 left);
4 wide blades (2 right and 2 left).
Note that the blades of the right feeding drum and the blades of the left feeding
drum are different (the cutting edge is reversed).
In case of replacing the blades, before mounting them on the feeding drums, it is important
to identify the RIGHT and LEFT BLADES. Reverse assembly compromises machine performance.
