FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DKHB DISC HEADER
Sealed Brgs
Cage crop conveyors
Turbulence Red. Roll
Sealed Bed Bearings
The bed bearings are sealed, which gives sev-
eral advantages:
1) Bearing life is longer, as any contamination
in the bed will not cause bearing failure.
Longer bearing life makes for a long life cut-
terbed, for less machine downtime.
2) The primary lubrication for the bearings is
self contained in the sealed bearing. The oil
for the bed lubrication is mainly to coat the
gear teeth, so the quantity of lubrication
required for the bed can be reduced. This
saves time and money when servicing the
machine.
Cage Crop Conveyors
The crop is conveyed to the 110” conditioner
roll opening by a series of rotating cages. The
second cage is set back, and the third cage is
half height. Crop flow is smoothed, and it is es-
pecially evident in heavier crops. The cages
smoothly deliver the crop to the helper and con-
ditioner rolls. The cage crop conveyors
smoothly move crop to the conditioner opening,
maintaining high output in all crop conditions.
Turbulence Reduction Roll
The turbulence reduction roll moves the crop
from the cutterbed to the conditioner rolls. The
turbulence reduction roll allows the conditioner
rolls to be moved back 8”, so the amount of air
turbulence directed forward is reduced, which
improves cutoff in light crop conditions. The
turbulence reduction roll helps improves cutoff
in light crop conditions, and maintains smooth
crop flow in heavy crop, improving machine
versatility.
