“Cut-and-come-again”
operation:
For this, a very level,
even cut is desirable, so that in
subsequent cuts, you are able to
cut just above the previous pass
in order to harvest only new
growth from the crop. Re-growth
in cut-and-come-again plots is
typically much less dense than
the original growth. The Quick
Cut Greens Harvester allows
harvesting even sparse stands
because the unique macramé
roller draws any standing leaves
it encounters into the blade for a
quick, clean cut.
3.
Taller or “Leggy” crops:
It may
be desirable to cut at a
considerable height above soil
level and leave behind leggy
petioles. You will also find it
difficult to cut anything taller than
the distance between the cutter
bar and the shaft of the
macramé roller. For this reason,
if you desire to do so, you may
need to cut just the top portions
of the leaves of more mature
stands. Simply maintain the
desired cutting height evenly
across the crop, leaving behind
the unwanted stems.

Keep it sharp!
It is critical for
proper operation of this product
that the blades be maintained
and sharpened often. Refer to
the
MAINTENANCE
section for
in-field sharpening and periodic
redressing of blades.
