Features

Disc Modules: Rugged and Easy Service, Repair or Replacement

  • Individually sealed bearings , gears and lubricant – damage or contamination to one disc doesn't spread to another
  • Complete gear lubrication , even when cutting on slopes or at an angle
  • Austempered discs for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions
  • A protective liner in the hood helps reduce rock damage
  • Heavy-duty gears and cross shafts

 

Shock Protection System

  • Protects key disc module drive components when a disc encounters a field obstacle
  • Easier in-field repairs
  • Dramatically reduces downtime
  • Lower replacement-part cost
  • Standard on all rotary disc header models


Heavy Duty Knives

  • One-bolt knives that are reversible for twice the cutting life
  • A knife speed of 187 mph (301 kph)
  • A cutterbar angle that  adjusts hydraulically from 2–10 degrees below horizontal using the in-cab switch

 

The Most Options to Fit Your Operation

  • Cutting width  — 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m)  
  • Compatible — WD1903 and WD2303
  • Rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls  
  • Steel-on-steel conditioning rolls
  • Flail conditioner (For grass-like crops)
  • Hi-Contact rolls are mounted in "modules" that are easily removed and exchanged to suit different crops and conditions throughout the season
  • Complete removal of the conditioning roll module allows for cutting without conditioning, if desired​​
