Your Rowse Mower can be equipped with the New Holland type Pitmanless Mower Head and Cutter Bar. The Pitmanless design with parallel drive motion reduces noise and vibration and eliminates any sickle register adjustment. The design also reduces wear on the cutter bar assembly for trouble-free operation. Tapered roller bearings are located throughout the Pitmanless Drive Head for durability and less maintenance. The sickle runs at 1600 strokes per minute with long strokes between guards. This allows more of the crop to be cut in one stroke while the sickle remains at top shearing speed.
The IH Balanced Mower Head and Cutter Bar features a balanced head designed with just three moving parts, riding on six precision tapered roller bearings. There are no pitmans, gears or connecting rods to cause problems. The balanced head converts speed and power to efficient sickle strokes. The sickle stays sharp longer, and runs at 2,000 strokes per minute for quick cutting action and faster travel through the field.
