Cutterbar
19
The cutterbar is one of the most
important parts of the combine harvester.
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 either the long divider or special short divider.
Make sure that the height of the long divider is set so it does not run on the ground, it
is recommended that the shoe 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 one
thereafter.
Lifters should be checked for wear/fatigue
on a daily basis and replaced if necessary.
There are two types of lifter available,
these are the standard lifter and the low
cut lifter for when lower cutting heights
are required i.e peas.
