Free-cutting cutter bar

Oscillating mowing technology has many advantages over other mowing methods. Especially in the field of professional mowing, the use of oscillating mowers (with free-cutting cutter bars if required) has become a standard mowing technique for clean forage harvesting. In general, where larger mowing machines cannot be used due to the terrain, hand-guided, motorised mowers (with a free-cutting cutter bar if required) are the best choice. This is often the case in alpine farming, for example.

Free-cutting cutter bars from ESM

The cutting units from Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik have been among the world's best in this demanding field of mowing for decades. ESM products are used wherever absolute reliability, flexible application options and a long service life are required. Whether a cutterbar with or without a free-cutting cutterbar is selected depends on the specific requirements. The finger bar cutterbar from ESM has a working width of 1.32 to 1.92 metres. The choice of the right cutting width depends on the size of the mowing area and the soil and terrain conditions. If a cutting unit with a free-cutting cutter bar is selected, the general operating instructions for finger bars as well as the specific operating instructions for free-cutting cutter bars must be observed. In general, ensure that the cutterbar is used as intended. The installation of the free-cutting cutter bar must be matched to the mower drive. The installation instructions of the respective manufacturer of the end product must also be observed! It should also be noted that the maintenance intervals must be adhered to. If the necessary measures for checking, adjusting and cleaning a free-cutting cutter bar are not carried out, this can result in high repair costs and long downtimes. The mower blades on a free-cutting cutter bar must therefore be sharp, correctly adjusted and sharpened.
