Knife Sharpener Cover

The Knife Sharpener Cover mounts on top of the cutterhead and shields the sharpening stone from debris, crop material, and everyday wear. By protecting the sharpening stone, this cover helps maintain consistent sharpening performance and supports efficient cutterhead operation throughout the harvest season.

Over time, exposure to crop flow and debris can cause the cover to become bent or worn thin. Replacing a damaged cover helps ensure the sharpening stone remains properly protected and continues to perform as intended.

Key Benefits

• Protects the sharpening stone from debris and damage

• Built for demanding forage harvesting conditions

When to Replace

Replace the knife sharpener cover when:

• Visible damage is present
• The sharpening stone is no longer adequately protected
