Replacing the stalk chopper knives
The stalk chopper knives are equipped
with double blade, so it is possible to
rotate them when the first side
becomes blunt. Beyond a certain
degree of wear, the knife is no longer
efficient, so it is advisable to replace it.
-
Unscrew the bolts (30) that hold the
knife.
-
Remove the blunt knife and assemble
new ones.
Transmission

The first oil change is recommended
after
50 work hours;
the subsequent
ones after 600 hours and/or at least
once a year.

The emptying out of the oil must be
carried out with the header still hot, in
order to prevent any impurities from
depositing on the bottom of the box.
