Double-sided disc mowers
with central suspension
- 9 -
3-point linkage frame (
1
) enables attachment of the mower to tractor's 3-point linkage. Drive
from tractor rpm is transmitted through PTO (
9
) and intersecting axis gear I (
3
) onto drive shafts
(
6
), which, through intersecting axis gears II (
7
) power the cutterbars (
4
). The cutterbars (
4
) have
discs with two knives each. Moreover, drive from tractor's rpm is transmitted through intersecting
axis gear I (
3
), drive shaft (
6
), intersecting axis gears II (
7
) directly transmitted onto swath
conditioners (
12
). Hydraulic lifting cylinders (
2
) fed from the tractor external hydraulics are used
for adjusting the mower to working position. Main frame (
11
), on which cutterbars (
4
) are installed,
is unloaded with springs (
8
). On main frame, safety guards (
5
) are mounted. The mower is equipped
with warning and signal plates (
10
) fixed on the conveyors, as standard.
In two-sided mowers with conveyors (
14
), conveyor belts (
15
) are powered by the hydraulic
system. The system comprises hydraulic pump (
16
) connected to intersecting axis gear I (
3
). Each
conveyor is equipped with hydraulic cylinder (
18
) to move conveyor belts with energy transferred
by hydraulic oil. While conveyors are being powered, the oil temperature increases. Hydraulic oil
temperature is kept at an adequate level by cooler (
17
) with thermostat. During operation a
conveyor can be lifted by means of cylinders (
19
). Turning conveyors (independently) on and off is
possible through electric console provided in the tractor operator's cabin.
