PLANT-CUTTING ASSEMBLY FOR A HEADER

摘要

A cutting assembly for a header (22) of a plant - cutting machine (20) is disclosed. The cutting assembly (50) generally includes a blade assembly (90) fastened to a head assembly (70), which is configured to be drivingly connected to a motor. The cutting assembly (50) is suitable for mounting proximate to the centre of the header (22), in an end-to-end relation with another cutting assembly (52). Removal of the blade assembly (90) from the head assembly (70) can be efficiently effected by releasing or removing a small number of fasteners (130,132,288), thus allowing an operator to readily remove or replace the blade assembly (90) as needed.
