Schumacher - your partner for a smart cut!

Did you already know that a clean cut increases your harvest yields? Why is that possible? Cutting systems are prone to significant wear and therefore have to be checked frequently.

If you postpone the replacement of parts for too long, it can cost you time and money caused by the time needed for repairs on the fields or less acres harvested. Even a slower driving speed of the combine by only 0.3 km/h for an average of 1.000 acres (400 hectares) performance can cause losses of thousands of dollars. From 2010 on, we offer the latest cutting technology with Schumacher Easy Cut II products. In this brochure you can read how to replace parts, upgrade your existing Schumacher system or change over to the new Easy Cut II cutting system.

A smart cut!

Easy calculating: Easy deciding: Easy assembling:

The same price per foot (metre) for all combine types.

The same components for all combine types.

For mounting the system all you need is a standard set of tools.

A smart cut!

THE ORIGINAL Easy Cut II – 3 different versions.

Your harvesting success begins with a smart cut.

The standard version includes all established components for a good cut. You will benefit from the technical innovations offered by Easy Cut II. The roller guides can be mounted subsequently very easily without much time and effort.

All Schumacher products can be mounted with standard tools.

Cutting system Easy Cut II R1

▼

top guiding rollers (every 2 feet)

The top guiding roller. For a straight knife movement.

The advantage of a straight knife movement is an extended lifetime of knife and guards. We recommend using the top guiding rollers in combination with wear plates for all established cutting units and combine types.

R2

▼

R1

▼

top and bottom guiding rollers (alternating every foot)

“Twice the roll”. For wide cutter bars.

The additional advantage of the bottom guiding roller means less friction on the knife back and therefore less wear. We recommend using the bottom guiding roller for cutting widths starting at a minimum of 20 feet (6 metres). It is not recommended for all types of cutting units, please ask us if the premium version is suitable for your combine!

THE ORIGINAL Efficient flow. More cut.

The new Schumacher double guard S4 easily leads more crop into the cutter bar. In order to make that possible, cutting edges have been reworked and the opening for the crops has been enlarged.

Possible consequences of an incorrect mounting: Mounting of a 12 mm double guard on a dimension of 14 mm: The guard will be extended. The gap becomes too wide and the knife has too much room for movement.

!

Mounting of a 14 mm double guard on a dimension of 12 mm: The guard will be squeezed. The gap becomes too tight and the knife cannot move properly anymore.

THE ORIGINAL Wear of guards. Check the gap.

Guards should be checked regularly for wear. A new guard has a gap of 3.8 - 4.2 mm.

new guard, gap 3.8 – 4.2 mm

Replace now!

wear of the gap > 5.4 mm

A cutting gap of more than 5.4 mm causes “floating” of the knife. The rounded cutting edges cannot hold and cut the crops properly anymore. They will get pulled into the cutting gap.

!

Further checking for wear during the change of guards.

!

16

!

When changing the guards, simply check the wear plates as well. If the edges of the plates also show wear, the knife is unstable and so the new guards will be worn out quickly again.

If the teeth are extremely pointed, the section will not cut cleanly.

The 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.

If the teeth are rounded, the knife is blunt and the crops will not be cut properly anymore. This will cause increased power requirements as well.

From tip to mounting module, the sliding skid is concave shaped.

Concave shaped profile

Critical wear appears only in the middle of the sliding skid. The sides remain solid.

The crop lifter remains solid.

The ASK doesn’t wear out quickly.

!

The new bend at the mounting module offers more ground clearance for the first rivet. So wear will be reduced considerably.

New: Module with bend

Example of wear with a conventional crop lifter Crop lifters without bend are subject to wear more easily.
