Gear to Gear Cutterbar
Both the 12’ and 15’ 3” cutterbar are a spur
gear design. Each gear assembly and adjacent
idler gear can be individually removed and ser-
viced, without disassembly of the cutterbar, re-
ducing downtime and increasing productivity.
The spur gear design allows the cutterbar pro-
file to be thinner, allowing closer cutting with
less scalloping.
Cutterbar Gears
The cutterbar gears have heavy duty, wide pro-
file teeth. The wide profile increases the gear-
to-gear tooth contact area, improving the load
carrying capacity of the gear. The gear teeth
are “shaved”, which is a higher-grade finish
than on standard gears. The shaving process
reduces the possibility of cutterbar contamina-
tion, and allows the teeth to mesh better, pro-
viding quieter and smoother running gears.
The cutterbar gears have shaved, wide profile
teeth, giving higher load carrying capacity and
smoother operation, for long life and trouble-
free operation.
