Along with the second generation of its ZKIV four-row self-propelled top-lifting harvester,
Dewulf introduced an updated cutter set in 2023. The six-cutter set combines capacity and unparalleled speed with the highest possible respect for the end product throughout the harvesting process. In addition, the set is less prone to wear and tear, as Dewulf fabricates the cutters with a new type of highly wear-resistant material. Moreover, the blades of the cutter sets are reversible, extending their life. If the front part is worn out, users can effortlessly invert the cutting bars to start using another zone of the cutting bars. This cutter set is now also available on the ZKII and ZKIII top lifters.
