The Schumacher guard with double counter edges for a balanced knife movement

Box design Extreme height stability thanks to two-sided screw connection Perfect adaption and tight fit by mounting in combination with wear plates Double counter edges Strong non-wearing surface with elastic core Beveled cutting edges with special hardening process are extremely sharp and durable Precise cutting gap for smooth knife running 9

Schumacher sections for variable blade assembly (top and bottom cutting) for smooth knife run

Cleaning edges Pro Cut sections are through hardened and zinc-coated Cleaning edges are particle-repellent and clean the cutting gap Optimized serrations for all harvesting conditions Tight fit Schumacher bolt with conical, serrated shaft for secure and firm positioning of the section in the knife back Easy to exchange thanks to screw connection

Easy transport, storing and mounting

Schumacher sectional knife Easy handling All knives fit in a 2.60 m box Easy to transport Quick and cost-effective shipping with overnight delivery service Knife connector kit Easy mounting Tight fit due to Precote-screws (The pre-coated adhesive is inactive and dry to the touch until the coated fastener is used. During assembly the adhesive is activated.) 13

Drag forces need to be counteracted, don’t let your sections tilt over

Schumacher wear plate The wear plate supports the knife back from behind (1) and guides the rear of the section from below (2). The knife cannot wobble Easy to exchange as single component

This testing tool is the ideal companion for every combine harvester man

Wear of guards Guards should be checked regularly for wear A cutting gap of more than 5.4 mm causes floating of the knife. The rounded cutting edges cannot cut the crops properly anymore. Stalks get pulled into the cutting gap

Use a new section as a gauge and counter the worn section you want to check

Teeth of sections pointed Space between the teeth is used, the section will not cut cleanly Unfortunately the section only looks sharp, due to the pointed teeth The pointed teeth will grab the stalk instead of cutting it and pull it into the cutting gap of the guard This will increase knife load which demands increased power requirements

Worn wear plates no longer ensure proper knife performance Change wear plates 28

Used wear plates Leveled wear plates The 90° angle of the wear plate is worn off The knife is not supported properly anymore and has too much play The cutting performance worsens and wear increases on all components The cutting performance worsens and wear increases on all components The knife lacks an optimum counter balance. There is too much play causing the knife to wobble inside the guard cutting edge

Schumacher crop lifters lasts longer Tight and secure fit Excellent driving dynamics Height adjustment Quick fastener with locking strap Closed profile (slimProfile) to prevent reel tine intervention Optimal for challenging harvest conditions and down grain

concave sliding skid The standard crop lifter, made by Schumacher first rivet with more clearance height mounting module with bend

Strong shape The concave sliding skid provides a secure bottom guidance and high stability, even under difficult harvest conditions Strong drive The rolling sliding skid improves flexibility on the ground and driving dynamics The first rivet on the mounting module now has more ground clearance and therefore, lasts longer Strong profile The closed lifter profile prevents the reel tines getting caught when reversing

original Drive dynamics Concave shaped profile Crop lifter remains solid Continuously concave sliding skid Therewith, the sliding skid has high stability, even under challenging harvest conditions and when cornering Critical wear appears only in the middle of the sliding skid, the sides remain solid Secure fit Ī Module with bend Wear of a mounting module operated parallel to the ground The new bend at the mounting module offers more ground clearance for the first rivet. So wear will be reduced consid
