DESCRIPTION
Samasz Disc Mower – KT Central Suspension
High working speed, new design of Perfect Cut cutterbar, quick knife
replacement, central spring or hydro-pneumatic suspension, possibility to
transport the mower in three positions – these are only a few of the
main advantages of KT mowers.
Central suspension
The main advantage of central suspension is even balance, perfect ground
following and wide range of inclination (up to 24 degrees) enabling
operation on uneven ground and in every condition. The centrally
suspended Perfect Cut cutterbar can be lightened by means of springs or hydro-pneumatically.
Hydraulic safety breakaway device
Central suspension unit is integrated with hydraulic safety breakaway
device, which protects the mower against hitting into immovable
obstacles. In the event of hitting an immovable obstacle the cutterbar
folds back and at the same time rises about 30 cm. Afterwards, the
cutterbar automatically comes back to its working position.
Hydropneumatic suspension
Thanks to hydropneumatic suspension, an operator can easily adjust force
of the pressure of cutterbar on the ground by means of tractor’s
hydraulics. Owing to that the force of the pressure on the ground is
always the same no matter how the terrain is shaped. Hydropneumatic
suspension is a perfect solution on weak turf meadows, especially during
mowing of the first cut after recent sowing (lucerne, clover, peat). It
enables adjusting force of the pressure on the ground even from 70 kg.
Safety guards
• Lowered side guard – comply with european safety norms and at the same
time shortens the distance between the knife and an obstacle “A”
• Protection tube – increases viability of safety curtain securing it against wearing through by the grass during operation “B”
• Clips – enable quick and easy unbuckling of safety curtain
• Guard’s regulation – enables lifting and locking it in different position, helpful during quick knife replacement
• Lifted side guard – lower transport high, possibility to work near fences.
Lock mechanism(1)
Innovative, patented lock mechanism enables adjusting the mower in three
different working positions, depending on operation mode: operation –
rest – transport. Suitable position can be adjusted from tractor’s cabin
by means of a cord.
Regulated pins(2)
Suspension unit is equipped with regulated lower pins (positioning the machine left and right).
Manometer
Manometer shows oil pressure in hydraulic unit, which reflects the force
of the pressure on the ground. Lightening of the cutterbar is regulated
by means of a lever from tractor’s cabin.
Transport
The most important advantage of KT series mowers is a possibility to
transport the machines in three different positions: upwards at the side
of the tractor, upwards at the back of the tractor and horizontally at
the back of the tractor. Suspension unit (lowered rotation point) has
been designed in order not to exceed 4 m even when it comes to the
widest mower KT 340.
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 competition.
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.
12. Bevel gears with 25 mm tightness.
13. High quality knives comply with strict safety rules. SaMASZ logo engraved on the knife is a guarantee of its quality.
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.
Tine conditioners – Unique quality of forage
Advantages of tine conditioners:- Several times faster drying of the grass owing to wax layer crushing on leaf’s blade
- Cutting wax layer improves plant’s breathing which decreases nutrition loss of the plant and increases thickness of the swath
- Eliminates tedding (less runs)
- Loose spreading of the plants into wide swath, increasing and
evening it’s thickness enables even collecting of swath by round baler
or silage trailer
- Increased space between tines and safety guard for better material flow in case of very high crop.
