Crop Sheers??

[4GFarms]

What does everybody have for crop sheers on their swathers? What kind are the best? Would be putting them on a MF 5200 swather header.

[Koldkanuck]

4g roto shears come in two parts. Mounting bracket, and the shear. I am pretty sure i have a set of MF Mounting brackets still in box from last year when they shipped out wrong brackets for me. Let me know if you want them...half price and I'll pop them on the bus

Make sure you get the 5200 mount for the rotoshears and not the universal mount. Just in the process of changing them over on ours. The universal mount has a three inch offset where the crop seems to hang up. Haven't got the new mounts yet but looking at pictures it seems to be a smooth transition

Make sure you have a pressure relief style control valve so rotoshear can mometarily jam without blowing a hose.

Ache4acres, I will do some checking and if it works out, yes I would take them. Anybody know Who sells them around regina area?

Or blow a o-ring on your hydraulic pump.

Shears are run off canvass return, the header has relief valves already so I don't think any extra relief is needed

Mine is driven off of reel return and had to change out the flow control block to a pressure relief type. The returns are all single braided line.

I installed them on my macdon 972 header this year. I found I had to angle them outward about 25 degrees to avoid the reel hitting them. the only other option was to mount them way further out to avoid the reels altogether, however I didn't want to do that as they could be ripped off when going thru ditches. Did others have similar problems? do they still work well even when tilted out?

Only 1/2 inch in Regina with lots of thunder, but a lot more rain in White City. At least that ground can take it. We may google "starting a mushroom farm" with edible weeds for sale cheap. I haven't heard about any hail damage -yet, scarey 31 degrees today, but wind changing from SE to NW. Hope that helps. That big white combine is waiting to pull into someone's field. There are a lot of guys who would welcome hail, just not us.
