Specifications of the finger bar centre cut

The working width of the centre-cut finger bar is 1.32 to 1.92 m. This cutting width offers an excellent compromise between a flexible, slim design and a high harvest yield. The construction is designed for the special applications of a centre-cut cutterbar. ESM generally places very high demands on the quality of the mowers in its range: User-friendliness and maintenance characteristics must meet professional standards. The aspect of environmental protection and the protection of small creatures is also taken into account. The cutting unit of the centre-cut version is subject to special care and maintenance instructions, which can be found in the installation and operating instructions. The blade guide in the finger zone may need to be adjusted. A basic adjustment is required for the centre cut finger bar if the clearance between the guide plates and the friction plate has exceeded approx. 1 mm. The basic adjustment of the centre-cut finger bar must also be renewed after inserting a new cutter blade and after loosening the fastening screws. If there is play between the blade holder and guide plate in the blade guide of the centre-cut cutterbar, this can be eliminated by turning the adjusting screw.
