8A Crop Lifter


8A Crop Lifter

For Downward Tilting Cutterbars
8A Crop Lifter
The 8A is a fully adjustable crop lifter (also known as pick up guard) used on all windrowers and combines with fixed, floating, or flexible cutterbars that tilt downward.  The 8A crop lifter is constructed of high strength ductile iron for durability and long service life.  Plated grade 8 fasteners are used for high strength and corrosion resistance.   Note:  The 8A crop lifter is used for 3" cut systems only.  For 1½" cut systems, see the 4S crop lifter.  For a more economical alternative, choose the 1A crop lifter.
C Block
The height adjustment of the crop lifter tip is provided by the six-way adjustment block. Sickle guards with a variety of geometries can be accommodated by the various holes in the adjustment block.  The adjustment block is constructed of die formed steel and is yellow zinc plated for corrosion resistance.

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.

Still not sure?  Check out our proprietary crop lifter selector website for a guided, conditions based recommendation.
