Easy Way To Adjust Combine Chopper Knives

Easy Way To Adjust Combine Chopper Knives COMBINES Accessories 23-1-18 If you own a Case-IH Axial Flow combine, you'll be interested in this new accessory that makes adjusting the stationary chopper knives as easy as cranking a lever mounted outside the combine. The "Harvest Hand" connects to the combine's existing chopper knife assembly via a hex shaft that's equipped with an actuating lever at each end. The levers can be raised or lowered to hold the knives in the correct position. To install it you drill 12 holes in the pan and one in the side of the combine and bolt it on. To raise or lower the knives, you simply pull a spring-loaded pin and crank the lever. "It makes changing the knives a 30-second job instead of a 10-minute job where you have to crawl inside the combine and lay down on top of the sieves," says Craig Kesteloot. "The unit moves with the pan so after it's set up you never have to adjust it again. The design makes it compatible with aftermarket knives, too." Fits any Case-IH Axial Flow combine equipped with a chopper. Sells for $275 plus S&H.
