The suspension frame (1) allows the mower to be connected to the three point hitch of
the tractor.
The power from the PTO of the tractor is transferred by the drive shaft, the miter gear (3) to
the drive shaft (7), which through the miter gear (8) powers the cutterbar (4).
On the cutterbar (4) there are discs with two cutting blades each.
Hydraulic lifting cylinder (2) fed from the tractor external hydraulics is used to adjust
the mower to working position.
3-point linkage frame, onto which spring suspended cutterbar (4) is set.
The mower is also equipped with a rotational actuator (10), which has two functions. The first
one is the ability to fold the mower backwards which, in many cases, significantly simplifies
transport, while the second is the factory calibrated hydraulic safety device (11).
The crop gatherers (5) and safety cover (6) are also installed on the main frame.
Support foot (12) is mounted to 3-point linkage frame (1).
