A planetary gear system ensures that the knife bar drive runs extremely smoothly. When you change the position of the cutterbar table, the drive shaft adjusts telescopically at the same time.
This allows you to continue working in any position without the need for operator intervention. The intake auger and knife drive are protected by individual overload clutches.
Drive train for VARIO 1380 / 1230 / 1080.
The low-maintenance drive train is matched precisely to the divided reel design used in these models. With knives driven synchronously at left and right via planetary gears, the cutter bar runs very smoothly. The gear units are also equipped with overload clutches.
