The most even stubble with very low grasses is obtained with disc mowers when half of
the discs rotate to the right and half to the left. A disadvantage of this system is a narrow and
thick windrow which needs to be spread out.
5.8.1. Essential information concerning mowing
Optimum work parameters
1. Inclination towards the front 0÷5 degrees which stands for 4.5÷7 cm of mowing height.
2. Operation speed
≥
10 km/h.
3. PTO rpm = 950÷1000 rpm. PTO rpm > 1000 may cause stripes of uncut grass between the disc.
High and inclined grass
1. Heighten the cutterbar’s inclination to – H = about 4.5 cm.
2. Operation without cutterbar’s inclination may cause winding of grass on the forming drums.
3. Speed up to V
≥
12 km/h (the faster – the better).
4. Do not take turns in the mowed grass.
- Optimum inclination of the cutterbar towards the ground is between 0° to 5°.
With inclination greater than 5° some minor unevenness in the mowed grass is likely. This
slightly impairs the attractiveness of the stubble after having been mown however has hardly any
impact on the mower's operation. With inclination of the cutterbar to the other side, the quality of
mowing is significantly impaired and in extreme situations the mower fails to operate completely.
What is more, this may lead to damage of the cutterbar.
- When the high grass prevails, first and second cut should be mowed at height level – 6 - 7 cm, but
when the grass grows low – at height level - 5 cm. The last cut should be mowed a little bit higher
– 7 - 7,5 cm above the ground.
- Too high PTO rpm whirl the air, which may cause inclination of the grass in front of discs. It
impairs the quality of mowing.
- Too low PTO rpm impair the quality of mowing and in some cases the mower stops mowing (too
low linear velocity of the knife).
- In contrast with 2-drum mowers straight mounting of the mower and full speed is not always
possible. Adjust experimentally inclination of the mower, PTO rpm, speed and correctness of
knife-mounting.
- In case of mowing soft meadows the pressure of the cutterbar on the ground should be reduced by
adjusting support springs.
