FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DHW DRAPER HEADER
Cutterbar Profile
The cutterbar has been designed for smooth
crop flow over the top. The skid plate along the
bottom of the cutterbar also gives it the ability
to cut close to the ground.
Sickle Drive
The sickle drive is a hydraulically driven plane-
tary gear system. The planetary gear system is
in rotation at all times, so there are no peak
starting and stopping loads as in a wobble box
system. The drive also maintains a high cutting
force, so it works well in all cereal, grass and
forage, and specialty crops. The sickle drive
system is very simple, as it uses no shafts,
belts, or sheaves, reducing maintenance.
Sickle Drive Planetary Gearbox
The planetary gears produce an absolutely lin-
ear knife movement compared to a wobble box
system. The gears are in exact alignment with
the knife, so the knife doesn’t move up and
down, or side to side during it’s stroke, for bet-
ter cutting performance, and less sickle and
guard wear.
