1) The new SCHUMACHER Cutting System introduces several improvements to the guard, section, crop lifter, guiding roll, and knife components. 2) Key changes include a new guard shape with positive cutting angle for improved cutting, salt bath tempering of sections for longer durability, and an upper knife screwing for easier component changes. 3) The upgrades are aimed at improving the cut of crops, reducing wear on components, and allowing for higher operating speeds of the cutting system.

1. Welcome to our internal presentation of the

4. Advantage:
• Improved cut by positive cutting angle
• Improved flow of harvested goods by thinner
middle bar
(less blockage of guards)

(powdering rsp. KTL / Colour DB 703)
4) Three holes for mounting

6. Advantage:
• Longer durability by salt bath tempering
• Improved cut of crop
• No „washing out“ of teeth by new shape
(„Wave“)
• No hydrogen brittleness (powdering)
• Less breaking of sections and teeth
• Third hole for mounting to strengthen connector bar

lower
upper
4-hole distance plate
(Flex-Header furthermore with 2-hole)
Rolls in rotation by 1ft

10. Advantage:
• Lower and upper guiding roll avoid „bending-to-front“
of knife at higher speeds
• Less usage of sections and guards
• Less power needed for cutting
• Higher driving speed possible
