Cutterbar
Adjustments
The cutterbar is one of the most
important parts of the combine. It is
designed to cut and gather the crop from
the field. It then needs to feed the
material evenly, and preferably head first,
to the drum.
Dividers
The first part of the cutterbar to make contact with the crop are the dividers. There are
two types: the long divider or short divider.
Make sure that the height of the divider is set so it does not run on the ground. It is
recommended that the shoe (base of the divider) should be set to the same height as
the stubble.
Lifters
It is recommended that lifters should be fitted
to CLAAS cutterbars. The lifters should be
fitted by placing the first one on the fifth
finger from the RHS of the cutterbar, and then
on every fourth finger thereafter.
Lifters should be checked for wear/fatigue on
a daily basis and replaced if necessary. There
are two types of lifter available: the standard
lifter and the low cut lifter (for when lower
cutting heights are required e.g. peas).
