Free cut cutter bar

The oscillating mowing technology has many advantages over other mowing processes. The use of oscillating mower technology (with free cut cutter bar if required) has become a mowing standard for clean feed recovery, particularly in professional mowing. Where larger mowers can not be used due to the terrain, hand-held, motorized mowers (with free cut cutter bar if required) are the best choice. This is often the case in alpine agriculture. Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik cutting systems are one of the world's best for challenging mowing applications. Everywhere where absolute reliability, flexible applications and long service life are required, products from ESM are used. Whether a cutting system with or without a free cut cutter bar is selected depends on the specific requirements. The finger bar cutting unit from ESM has a working width between 1.32 and 1.92 m. Choosing the right cutting width depends on the size of the area to be mowed and ground and terrain conditions. If a cutting system with free cut cutter bar is selected, both the general operating instructions for the finger bar and the specific operating instructions for the free cut cutter bar must be observed. It must be ensured that the cutting system is used for its intended use. The mounting of the free cut cutter bar must be adapted to the mower drive. Here the manufacturer assembly instructions must be observed! It is also important that the maintenance intervals are observed at all times. If the necessary testing, calibration and cleaning measures are not performed on a free cut cutter bar, this can result in high repair costs and long downtimes. For this reason the mowing knives on a free cut cutter bar must be sharp and properly adjusted. If knife blades or the knife backs are bent, they should be straightened, they must be straight. Damaged or badly worn mowing knives should be replaced. The mowing fingers on a free cut cutter bar must be straight, bent mowing fingers must be straightened, otherwise smooth mowing can not be guaranteed. The cutting height adjustment is made via the cutter bar skids, or the running soles on the outer shoes. It is important that cutting systems should be used responsibly and with care.
