8B Crop Lifter
Our Most Versatile Crop Lifter
The 8B is a fully adjustable crop lifter (also known as pick up guard) used on all windrowers and combines with fixed, floating, or flexible cutterbars. The 8B 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 8B crop lifter is used for 3" cut systems only. For 1½" cut systems, see the 4S crop lifter.
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. Different length sickle guards can also be accommodated by moving the block in it's mounting slot. The adjustment block is constructed of die formed steel and is yellow zinc plated for corrosion resistance.
