Convenient overload protection A side-mounted poly V-belt drives the pick-up and the rotor. The rotor has permanent slip control that switches it off automatically if it becomes overloaded. Then the blades retract automatically from the crop flow. To resume work, the operator restarts the rotor and then engages the blades – this is all done remotely from the cab.

Gap-free fit: As the blades are engaged hydraulically the blade cassette is secured in the frame, taking the strain off the cassette’s rolls and effectively absorbing any vibrations that occur during cutting and ensuring easy opening and closing of the cassette.

Flexible groups of blades: The blades can be preselected without tools in six groups of 51, 26, 25, 12, 5 or 0. The preselected group is engaged hydraulically from the cab. The cams are attached to the shaft and can be refitted according to user needs.

Blade group control system for maximum flexibility: VariCut offers a multi-blade cutting system on BiG Pack 1270 and BiG Pack 1290 HDP that offers great flexibility with up to 51 blades. A new belt drive and a four-star rotor increase throughputs – no matter how much volume is being handled. VariCut produces short straw chops down to a theoretical length of 22 mm (9") – the ideal solution for more structure in your forage or when using the straw as bedding.

Easier cleaning: A service aperture above the blades is opened in a single action to remove any debris that may collect there. Additionally, the area around the blades and the individual blade springs is cleaned with an integrated compressed air cleaning system.

Convenient assembly and maintenance: Via a quick coupler, the single-piece blade cassette pulls out conveniently to the side on an optional trolley and is stored on a pallet truck for maintenance.
