John Deere, the global market leader in sugarcane harvesting innovation, has introduced an improved chopper system that features external blade timing. This system not only dramatically shortens timing events, but can also help improve harvesting performance and crop quality. Consistent blade engagement from a properly timed chopper positively impacts cleaning, billet size consistency, and billet quality. A faster and simpler timing procedure makes managing chopper performance easier than ever. External timing means you no longer have to remove the chopper gearbox cover. This not only dramatically reduces downtime for chopper timing events, but makes the entire timing process easier and eliminates the risk of gearbox contamination from dust and debris.
