4.15- 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:
ƒ 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.
ƒ 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:
ƒ 2 equal narrow blades;
ƒ 4 wide blades (2 right wide blades and 2
left wide blades).
Note that the wide blades of the right feeding
drum and the blades of the left feeding drum
are different (the cutting edge is reversed).
Narrow blades are all the same.
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.
First, separate all the wide blades. To identify
RIGHTS and LEFT BLADES, place all in the
position shown next.
