MAXI CUT is a central disc mower designed for efficient, safe and comfortable operation in a variety of field conditions. Its carefully engineered structural and hydraulic solutions ensure precise guidance of the cutting unit, effective ground contour following and reduced risk of machine damage during operation.
The mower’s functionality is based on a range of well-thought-out solutions – from the hydraulic pressure relief system and cutting unit protection systems to features that facilitate operation, transport and the replacement of wear components.
Hydraulic Cutting Bar Pressure Relief System
One of the key features affecting the performance of the MAXI CUT mower is its hydro-pneumatic cutting bar pressure relief system.
The system reduces the pressure exerted by the cutting unit on the ground, allowing the cutting bar to follow uneven terrain more effectively. This is particularly important when working on meadows and grassland, where the surface is not always perfectly level.
Proper pressure relief results in smoother machine operation, reduced loads on working components and a lower risk of damaging the turf. At the same time, it helps keep the cutting unit in the correct position relative to the ground, contributing to an even mowing result.
The system also features a hydraulic cylinder that serves as a hydraulic safety device, increasing operational safety and helping protect the machine structure in the event of overload.
Drive Transmission System
Efficient power transmission is crucial for the effective operation of a disc mower. In the MAXI CUT, torque from the tractor’s PTO shaft is transmitted via a cardan telescopic shaft to the central gearbox.
The drive is then transferred to the side gearbox, which delivers power directly to the cutting bar.
This solution ensures efficient power transmission to the working unit and enables effective operation of the cutting bar. The use of a suitably designed gearbox system also contributes to the durability of the entire drive system.
Heavy-Duty Three-Point Hitch
The MAXI CUT mower is equipped with a heavy-duty three-point hitch, providing a stable connection between the machine and the tractor.
The robust hitch design has been developed for operation in demanding field conditions. A secure connection between the mower and tractor is important both during mowing and while transporting the machine.
The three-point hitch also allows the mower to be correctly positioned relative to the tractor and its working position to be adjusted according to operating conditions.
Hydraulic Breakaway Safety Device
When working on grassland, there is always a risk of encountering stones, uneven terrain or other obstacles. To reduce the risk of machine damage, the MAXI CUT is equipped with a hydraulic breakaway safety device.
When an obstacle is encountered, the working unit can deflect and lift, allowing the machine to safely pass over the obstacle. This solution reduces sudden loads acting on the structure and helps protect the cutting unit.
After passing the obstacle, the working unit can return to its working position, allowing mowing to continue.
Intuitive Hydraulic Coupling Identification
Daily machine operation should be as simple and intuitive as possible. That is why the MAXI CUT features clearly marked hydraulic couplings.
Appropriate colour coding and labels make it easier to quickly identify individual hoses and connect them to the corresponding hydraulic functions of the tractor.
This solution reduces the risk of incorrect connections and makes preparing the mower for operation quicker and easier.
TALEX Cutting Bar with SAFETY DEVICE Protection
The cutting bar is the heart of a disc mower, so its durability and operational safety are of key importance.
The MAXI CUT uses a TALEX cutting bar equipped with the SAFETY DEVICE protection system. If a disc strikes a stone or another hard obstacle, special safety pins are designed to shear off.
This mechanism is intended to limit the transmission of overloads to the remaining components of the drive system. As a result, more expensive and more difficult-to-replace components of the cutting bar are protected.
This type of protection helps minimise the consequences of accidental impacts with obstacles and facilitates the subsequent return of the machine to operation.
QUICK CHANGE Knife Replacement System
Regular inspection and replacement of knives is one of the basic requirements for the proper operation of a disc mower.
The MAXI CUT is equipped with a QUICK CHANGE knife replacement system, allowing worn cutting elements to be replaced quickly and efficiently. The solution reduces the time required for maintenance and allows the machine to be prepared for further work with minimal downtime. Quick knife replacement is particularly important during the intensive mowing season, when every interruption to work matters.
Metal Safety Guards and Protective Cover
Operator safety and the safety of people in the vicinity of the machine are important aspects of the MAXI CUT design.
As standard, the machine is equipped with metal safety guards and a canvas protective cover reinforced with a rubber edge.
The guards restrict access to the moving components of the working unit and help protect the surrounding area from small pieces of material that may be thrown out during operation.
The combination of metal guards and the protective cover creates a robust protection system designed for everyday use on the farm.
Control of Mower Functions Using a Remote Control
Operating the MAXI CUT can be even more convenient thanks to remote control of selected machine functions.
The remote control allows the operator to switch the machine between working mode and transport mode without having to perform additional operations directly at the machine.
It also informs the operator when the cutting unit pressure relief system is activated. This allows the operator to control the mower’s basic functions more easily without leaving the tractor cab.
This solution increases everyday operating comfort and allows the machine to be prepared more efficiently for transport or mowing.
Transport Safety Lock
Safe machine transport is just as important as proper operation in the field. The MAXI CUT features a transport safety lock that prevents accidental lowering of the mower.
The solution does not require the operator to leave the tractor, allowing the machine to be prepared for transport quickly and conveniently.
The safety lock reduces the risk of uncontrolled lowering of the cutting unit during transport and improves the convenience of everyday operation.
Support Leg
After finishing work or disconnecting the mower from the tractor, it is important to ensure that the machine is positioned securely and stably.
For this purpose, the MAXI CUT is equipped with a support leg, which allows the machine to be safely and securely positioned after being disconnected from the tractor.
This simple yet practical solution facilitates machine storage, reconnection and servicing or maintenance operations.
Ergonomic Indicator for Correct Machine Positioning
Correct positioning of the mower relative to the ground has a direct impact on the performance of the cutting unit.
The MAXI CUT is equipped with an ergonomic indicator that helps ensure correct machine positioning.
After lowering the cutting unit onto the ground, the indicator positions should be aligned. To achieve this, the operator can appropriately lower or raise the hitch frame using the tractor’s lower links.
The clearly visible indicator makes it easier to achieve the correct setting without the need for complicated measurements. This allows the machine to be prepared for operation more quickly while maintaining the correct position of the cutting unit.
Swathwheel
The swathwheel is responsible for properly positioning the cut material.
Its task is to form and arrange the windrow behind the cutting unit. Proper positioning of the cut material facilitates subsequent harvesting operations such as tedding, raking and baling.
The windrower is therefore an important component affecting not only the mowing process itself but also the organisation of subsequent field operations.
MAXI CUT – Solutions Designed for Everyday Operation
The MAXI CUT central disc mower combines solutions that increase mowing efficiency with systems designed to improve safety, operating comfort and structural durability.
The hydraulic cutting bar pressure relief system, hydraulic breakaway safety device, SAFETY DEVICE protection system, QUICK CHANGE knife replacement system and intuitive controls make it easier to prepare the machine for operation and use its capabilities efficiently on the farm.
