-Hi. I'm Brian Messick with Messick farm equipment.
We're here to talk about the New Holland 313 Discbine
and the advantages of the new cutter bar on this machine.
We're going to start discussing the features
and benefits of the new cutter bar on the 313 Discbine.
If you are a current owner of a New Holland Discbine,
you understand that New Holland has a modular cutter bar
which is an individual gear box for each hub with a spacer,
another gear box and so on down the line.
That is continued on the new 313 Discbine cutter bar.
The biggest difference is,
is the cutter bar is expanded by about 20% in size.
Each component tree is bigger.
We have an eight disc cutter bar.
On these, we have a module.
We then have a cast spacer and a shaft that runs in between.
As you can see, the previous shaft that was in these machines
was splined on each end and it fixed the two modules together.
The new shaft, stickers on the machine,
you can look at the size difference between the two shafts.
Much more robust, much heavier, hold up to more extreme conditions.
Much more heavier cutter bar.
As we look again more at the features of this cutter bar,
we have down here which is called your rock guard.
It's a cast piece.
It is a full coverage rock guard.
They interlock right at the other one.
The previous one had a space there,
rocks could get jammed in through there, this way full coverage rock guard.
Another thing this cutter bar has is a shear hub protection on it.
What that is, is a spline shaft here.
It has a hub mounted on it
that is designed to break if something were to come in contact.
On the 313 Discbine cutter bar, it comes standard with a shock pro shear hub.
We're going to show you quickly how to replace that shear hub.
If you were to have a failure in this hub here, you come in
and you have your four bolts on your top cap you would remove.
Once they're removed, I can pull my top cap off,
set it to the side and I can remove the rest of the turtle shell.
This part right here is our shear hub.
It's held down on by this bolt here.
To remove that, I come in, take the center bolt out.
There's two washers with that bolt.
I can now remove my shear hub.
As you can see on this here, the shear hub has splines on it.
They're designed to fail when contact and let this spin freely.
In your repair kit which you would get would be a new shear hub,
a new bolt and new washers.
You want to make sure you use these spring washers over.
They keep the proper tension on the shear hub.
As we come back together,
we'll make sure we have everything lined up properly
as we put our shear hub, the new shear hub back on the machine.
We come in with our turtle shell.
We have our bolt with our two new washers.
We're going to put that on.
We're then going to torque this to the proper torque setting.
Finish it up then by putting your top cap back on.
You can have yourself back up
and running in literally a couple of minutes
from a failure with the shear hub.
While under here talking about the cutter bar,
we have to look at the new conditioning system on this Discbine.
We have a 125-inch wide conditioning rolls, largest in the industry.
New Holland has their patented rubber conditioning roll, Chevron design.
They offer a steel conditioning roll.
They also offer the flail tine conditioning system as well.
All 125-inch wide to keep a consistent even crop mat flowing
through your machine and keeping lower dry times so you can make hay faster.
A standard equipment on the 2017 313 Discbine is a quick change knife.
No more wrenches, sockets, anything required to do that.
The machine comes with a little fork that you see here, pry bar.
As we come in to the knife, we position it between the knife.
We press down on it.
We're able to pull the knife right out.
Get your new knife and start back in.
Pull the knife out and you have your free swinging knife back in.
Very easy to change your entire cutter bar
which used to take half hour or better,
now down to a couple of minutes to change all the knives on the machine.
With all the upgrades on the new cutter bar,
the 313 New Holland is now backed it
with a 36-month warranty on the cutter bar.
That's two additional years from the factory warranty.
I'd like to thank you for taking this time to view this.
