Features RD162 Specialty available from Kunau Implement, IA

DISC MODULES

Rugged, independent disc modules offer many advantages:

• Easy service, repair or replacement
• Individually sealed bearings, gears and lubricant – damage or contamination to one disc doesn't spread to another
• Complete gear lubrication even when cutting on slopes or at an angle
• 3,000-rpm disc speed that easily slices through heavy, tangled crops
• Crop lifters on all discs help move crop away from cutting zone
• Austempered discs for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions
• Protective liner in the hood that helps reduce rock damage

SHOCK PROTECTION SYSTEM

• Standard on all rotary disc header models
• Protects key disc module drive components when a disc encounters a field obstacle
• Easier in-field repairs
• Dramatically reduces downtime
• Lower replacement part cost

 

KNIVES

Two heavy-duty knives on each disc feature:

• One-bolt knives that are reversible for twice the cutting life
• Easy replacement – you can replace knives without raising the header
• Knife speed of 187 mph (301 kph)
• Cutterbar angle adjusts hydraulically from 2 - 10 degrees below horizontal using the in-cab switch

 

CONDITIONING

• RD162 and RD182 – equipped with intermeshing, spiral rubber-on-rubber, steel-on-steel or Hi-Contact conditioning rolls
• Conditioning rolls provide 102-in. (2.6-m)-wide superior crimping action
  • Results in faster dry down in both light and heavy crops
• Rugged construction allows rolls to process both higher crop volume and faster ground speeds typical of a rotary disc header
• For crops that don't require conditioning, the conditioning roll module on RD162 and RD182 disc headers can be removed easily, or the type of conditioning rolls can be changed to match the crop you're cutting
