Did You Know? | Chop Quality | John Deere Forage Harvesters

Did you know? The John Deere Duradrum cutterhead delivers consistent chop quality and performance independently from the volume of crop thanks to the strong feed roll spring compression system. With hydraulic dampening, we have a direct compaction of the incoming crop material. In combination with our radial arc opening feed roll design, we ensure a consistent distance from the point of compaction to cutting which results in a high qual regardless of the volume of material. Our multi knife drum provides more overlapping cutting areas resulting in the prevention of over length particles to run through the machine as standard. Our reverse sharpening feature with our grinding and polishing cycles guarantee perfect razor sharp edges and increases the lifetime of the knives. The quick shear bar adjustment takes only 45 seconds and can be easily controlled from the comfort of the cab to keep the cutterhead optimized for peak performance quickly and easily. And you can be sure with this unique John Deere Duradrome design, you will fulfill the highest levels of chop quality expectations.
