Disc mower
8.3.1 Cutting height
The desired cutting height is obtained directly by
adjusting the top link length. The height can be
adjusted between 30 and 50 mm (1.1" - 1.9").
To obtain a different cutting height:
- Place the machine in working position.
- Lower the machine on the ground to remove
weight from the top link.
- Modify the top link length to alter the machine tilt
angle.
- Check cutting height.
The maximum cutting height L1 = 50 mm (1.9’’)
is obtained when the disks are parallel to the
ground.
The minimum height must not be below L2 = 30
mm (1.1’’).
Too low a cutting height can lead to:
• Excessive disc and knife wear.
• Crop being contaminated by soil.
• Delay in regrowth.
8.3.2 Swathing system
The swathing system comprises the following
component:
• 1 outer swath wheel (Adjustable).
- Position the swath wheel in order to obtain an
angle between 16° (A) and 32° (A’).
