Draper drive
The 2 1/2" (6.4 cm) diameter vulcanized drive rollers provide slip-free traction in heavy crop conditions. Powered from the outside by a hydraulic motor, the drapers move the crop towards the swath opening creating a uniform windrow.

Schumacher Cutting System
The Schumacher Easy Cut Cutting System provides smooth, superior cutting. Spring steel guards, with cutting edges on top and bottom, along with alternating, bolted, heat treated sections eliminates the need for hold downs. The system keeps dirt and debris from accumulating under the knives for increased performance in severe cutting conditions.
