Samasz Disc Mower – KDTC Central Suspension

.

.

.

KDTC mowers have been the first disc mowers with central suspension in our offer. They have been manufactured since 2008 and have gone thorough modernization in order to be up to present conditions.

Developed and proved design is an economic alternative to KT mowers. They can be equipped interchangeably with tine or roller conditioner.

 

Hydraulic safety breakaway device

KDTC mowers have the same hydraulic safety breakaway device as double-sided mowers. It protects mower against hitting into small obstacles. In the event of hitting an immovable obstacle the cutterbar folds back about 30 degrees and at the same time rises about 50 cm. Afterwards, the cutterbar automatically comes back to its working position.

PERFECT CUT

Based on the experience of our customers in Poland and in Western Europe we have introduced to our production a new model of cutterbar: Perfect CUT. Precise cut, high durability of components, protection against sudden disc stop in case of coming into an obstacle, quick and easy disc module replacement owing to modernized upper disc hub are the main advantages of Perfect CUT cutterbars. New cutterbar is mounted in every SaMASZ disc mower apart from KDL series based on Comer cutterbar.

Main advantages of PerfectCUT cutterbar:

1. Smooth regulation of cutting height from 4 to 7 cm.- sliding skids from 5 to 9 cm
2. 6307 2RSN bearings in bevel gears and 6307 2RS in disc modules are the most durable and unprecedented among our european competion.
3. Specially hardened discs and sliding skids made of Boron steel, protected against mud and dirt by means of the blades.
4. Easily replaceable knife holder pins.
5. Hardened knife holder made of Boron steel, especially designed in order to eliminate stucking of the knives under the disc.
6. Innovative system of quick knife replacement. The knife can be changed only when the disc is adjusted sheer to the cutterbar (+ – 30 degrees). The system decreases the probability of knife loss almost to absolute minimum in case of hitting into stone.
7. Modernized, hardened sliding skids made of Boron steel protect the whole surface of cutterbar on the bottom. Quick and easy replacement of the skids (only two bolts to unscrew).
8. Additional steel skid protecting cutterbar’s drive.
9. Hardened cutterbar made of steel.
10. Protection against stones in standard equipment.
11. Quick and easy replacement of disc module thanks to modernized upper hub.

Protection against stones in standard equipment
Specially designed disc module protects the cutterbar with bevel gears in case of very strong, extreme hit of the disc e.g in a stone. The force of the hit cuts off only the key. Then, only the module needs to be replaced without the necessity of expensive cutterbar repair. The replacement of the module takes only a while and can be done on the field. Owing to that solution the time crucial during forage pick-up is spared. Modernized upper disc hub enables quick module replacement. Special cavities for bolts make it very easy to disssemble the module without the necessity of unscrewing upper hub. The drive of the discs is transmitted by means of bevel gears with high diameter, which increases the resistance of the disc in case of hitting into an immovable obstacle.

Comparison of bevel gears
Our mowers are equipped with Perfect CUT cutterbars based on bevel gears transmitting higher strength.

Perfect quality of cut with Perfect CUT cutterbar

New Perfect Cut cutterbars have high quality of cutting even with very low grass during 3, 4 and further cuts. During 1 and 2 cut when high grass prevails it is recommended to cut with height between 53 mm and 68 mm. Depending on the angle of cutterbar’s inclination there are the following cutting heights.

Perfectly profiled design

Rounded shapes of cutterbar’s bottom surpass the designs of other manufacturers. Streamline shape facilitates operation on more earthen and stony paddocks. No sharp edges on the whole cutterbar, smooth surfaces of sliding skids give protection to the turf.
