Cutter bar

General information on mowing with a cutter bar

When working with a mower with a cutter bar, knife blades attached to a bar are moved by oscillating movements. This cuts through the respective crop. Depending on the crop and the size of the area to be mowed, cutter bars of different sizes are used. The drive methods also differ significantly depending on the area of application. In addition to ground drives, which are set in motion by the power of draft animals or tractors, a large number of motorised cutter bars are used in agriculture and horticulture.

Cutter bars are characterised in particular by their wide range of applications. They are ideal for hand-held, small mowers. However, they can also be installed in constructions several metres wide, for example in combine harvesters or other agricultural harvesting machines. The wide range of applications has contributed to the widespread use of mowing technology in professional agriculture as well as in horticulture. Their high level of safety, protection of flora and fauna and the mower's robustness against damage are further advantages.

Increased safety with cutter bars from ESM

A major advantage of mowing with cutter bars, in addition to the high cutting quality and harvest yield, is the significant reduction in work risks. While when mowing with roundabout or rotary mowers there is always the risk of stones or other small parts being thrown away by the rotating mower, which can cause injuries or damage to property, this is not the case with mowing systems with cutter bars.

Equipping a mower with a cutter bar system from ESM prevents stones or small parts from being thrown away. Cutter bars are therefore particularly suitable when mowing in the vicinity of people, animals or roads used by vehicles. Due to the significantly reduced radius of the danger zone, it is also not necessary to cordon off the area to be mowed over a wide area when mowing with a bar mower.
