The wheat straw recovery season is intense and time-critical. A well-maintained Straw Reaper guarantees high-value animal fodder output and minimizes downtime during peak harvest weeks.
Pre-Season Checkpoints
- Cutting Blades & Finger Inspection: Sharpen or replace serrated ledger plates. Uneven blades increase tractor load and fuel consumption.
- Blower & Rotor Balance: Check double-blower fan impellers for any stone denting or debris buildup to prevent vibration.
- Heavy-Duty Gearbox Lubrication: Use manufacturer-recommended EP-90/EP-140 gear oils and check oil levels daily.
- V-Belt Tensioning: Adjust belt slack to eliminate slippage while ensuring drive pulleys are perfectly aligned.
