3-point linkage frame (1) enables attachment of the mower to tractor’s 3-point linkage. Drive
from tractor’s rpm is transmitted through intersecting axis gear (6) on PTO shaft (8), which through
intersecting axis gear (7) drives the cutterbar (4). On the cutterbar, there are discs with two knives
each. Apart from that, drive from tractor’s rpm through intersecting axis gear (6), PTO shaft (8),
intersecting axis gear (7) and chain gearbox (10) is transmitted to tine conditioner (3). Hydraulic
cylinder (2) is used to adjust the mower to working position. It is supplied from outer hydraulics of
the tractor. Main frame, on which the cutterbar is situated, is supported by the springs (10).
Additionally, the mower can be equipped with belt conveyors (11 Fig. 5). They are driven by their
own hydraulic system and consist of hydraulic pump (12 Fig. 4), oil cooler (13 Fig. 4) and two
hydraulic engines (14 Fig. 5). Switching on and off the conveyors (independent) is done by means
of electric console mounted in tractor’s cabin.
