4S Crop Lifter
For 1½" Cut Systems
The 4S is a fully adjustable crop lifter (also known as pick up guard) designed to fit combine floating cutterbars with 1½" cut stub guards. It is equipped with a set screw height adjustment, non-clogging spring action joint, and is double-bolted to the cutterbar. 4S crop lifters are constructed of ductile iron for strength and durability. They are equipped with high strength yellow zinc plated fasteners. For 3" cut systems, see the 8B crop lifter or 4H crop lifter.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The 4S crop lifter is designed to fit combine floating cutterbars with 1½" cut stub guards such as Herschel Tiger Jaws, Case IH, Love, Kingkut, New Holland, White Kwik Cut, CFC, and others. It is used extensively in the harvest of pulse crops such as soybeans, peas, as well as other oilseed crops requiring high lift. See 4S Application Guide for details.

RECOMMENDED CROP LIFTER SPACING
Sickle guard and cutterbar geometries can limit the available crop lifter spacing options. The following are starting recommendations that can be altered as the application requires.
|
Down Grain, Peas
|
Space Crop Lifters 6" to 9" Apart
|
|
Swath or Windrow
|
Space Crop Lifters 6" Apart
|
|
Rowed Beans and Milo
|
Space Crop Lifters 6" to 9" on each side of row. Closer spacing will reduce loss by raising crops uniformly.
