Tool for mounting a chopping knife on a chopping drum

A method for mounting a chopping knife to a chopping drum via a first tool, wherein,

• the tool comprises:
• a clamping mechanism for releasably fixing the first tool, the clamping mechanism being configured to be reversibly adjustable from a basic state, in which the clamping mechanism is unclamped, to a clamping state, in which the clamping mechanism is clamped;
• a frame;
• an adjusting element which is reversibly displaceable relative to at least one of the clamping mechanism and the frame in a displacement direction along a displacement axis, the adjusting element being configured to reversibly adjust the clamping mechanism from the basic state to the tensioned state;
• and
• a positioning device which is configured to position the chopping knife on the chopping drum,
• the chopping drum comprises at least one knife holder,
• the chopping knife is mountable to the at least one knife holder,
• the at least one knife holder comprises a first auxiliary bore, and
• the chopping knife comprises a first counter-positioning device,
• the method comprising:
• inserting the clamping mechanism of the first tool into the first auxiliary bore, the clamping mechanism of the first tool being in the basic state so that the positioning device of the first tool engages with the first counter-positioning device of the chopping knife;
• and
• transferring the clamping mechanism of the first tool from the basic state to the clamping state via the clamping mechanism of the first tool being braced in the first auxiliary bore and the positioning device of first tool being adjusted relative to the first auxiliary bore.
