Cutting and Operating Performance

The TM135 uses a 9-disc Q3^® cutter bar with a disc speed of 2,700 rpm and 18 blades. Hydraulic pitch adjustment allows the cutter bar angle to be adjusted for operating conditions, with a specified cut height from 1 to 3 in (2.5 to 7.6 cm). The nitrogen-charged hydraulic suspension is designed to provide adjustable support during operation, while the cutter-bar lift-height clearance is 16 in (40.6 cm).

Blade servicing is supported by the standard Quick Clip^® system, and the standard Quick-Change™ shear ring provides a convenient shear-ring arrangement. The driveline uses a friction disc clutch for torque protection. The cutter bar is covered by a standard 3-year limited cutter bar warranty.
