Cutterbar Slides Easier On New Guides

Cutterbar Slides Easier On New Guides COMBINES Accessories 29-4-11 A new Roller Guide system designed for the popular SCH EasyCut cutting system replaces the spacer bars that normally support the knifeback in cutter bars. The new guides are designed to extend the working life of the cutterbar. "Switching to Roller Guides reduces knifeback wear and breakage, allows the knife to slide between guards easier with less friction, requires less power, and reduces platform vibration," says Dave Burgei, president. The all-steel construction Roller Guides are made with a hardened roller, sealed bearings and a cap to keep dirt out. Roller Guards are priced at $14.50 each and installed every 18 in. Installation is a simple matter of removing two knife guards and the spacer bars, which are held in place with the guard bolts. The roller guards are then secured when the knife guards are reinstalled. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, S.I.
