Knife/Shearbar Setting Tool

This Knife/Shearbar Setting Tool is designed to simplify and improve the knife-to-shearbar setting process on John Deere® 7000 Series forage harvesters. Proper knife and shearbar adjustment is critical for maintaining forage quality, reducing power consumption, and maximizing machine performance.

To use, screw the threaded rod into one side of the feeder house and use the straight edge to accurately set the knives to the shearbar. This provides a consistent reference point for precise adjustment and helps ensure optimal cutterhead performance.
