Construction: The frame is welded steel. The reel uses
heavy duty, self–aligning ball bearings. The heavy duty
steel rear roller has tapered roller bearings. The rear
roller and bedbar are isolated and mounted in rubber
bushings for quiet, vibration–free operation. Adjustable
deflector shields are standard. Stainless steel compo-
nents are used at key points for added durability.
Reel Configuration: The 5, 7, and 11 blade heavy duty
welded reels all have 8 inch (20.3 cm) diameters and are
29–3/4 in. (75.5 cm) wide.
Bedknife/Bedbar Assembly: A replaceable, single
edged, alloy steel bedknife is induction hardened. The
bedknife is fastened with steel screws to a precision
ground surface on the high strength, fabricated steel
bedbar. The stress–relieved machined bedbar is
mounted with four (4) vibration isolation bushings.
Bedknife to Reel Adjustment: Two lockable lead
screw adjusters at each side of the frame adjust the reel
to bedknife contact.
Rear Roller: 3–1/2 inch (89 mm) diameter steel roller
has greaseable tapered roller bearings. A double lip oil
seal and wear sleeve isolates grit and moisture from the
bearings.
Height–of–Cut: 5 Blade – 1 to 3 inches (25 to 76 mm).
7 Blade – 1/2 to 1–3/4 inch (9.5 to 45 mm). 11 Blade –
3/8 to 3/4 inch (9.5 to 19 mm).
Height–of–Cut Adjustment: Quick adjustment and
positive locking is provided by locking type cone nuts.
Gauge marks of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) are provided as a ref-
erence for easy changes of height–of–cut.
