Cutterblades; Inspecting Cutterblades - MacDon R85 Operator's Manual

5.4.5 Cutterblades

Each disc has two cutterblades (A) attached at each end
with a specially designed shoulder bolt that allows the
blades to swivel horizontally.
Since each blade has two cutting edges, they can be
flipped over to extend the life of the blades.
The blades are NOT repairable and must be replaced if
damaged or worn.
IMPORTANT:
Always use MacDon factory replacement parts.

Damaged or loose cutterblades or blade attachment hardware can be ejected during machine operation
