Abstract
The invention relates to cutting devices with flexible blades for use on agricultural machines. The cutting device for agricultural machines includes a rotatable shaft (1) with at least two sets of grooves (5) on its outer surface, each of said sets being oriented along the shaft axis. Each groove (5) in each set houses the midsection of a cutting wire (6), meanwhile clamping rods are installed along the outer surface of the shaft (1) over each set of cutting wires (6) where the grooves (5) are located, the ends of each clamping rod (4) being fixed in the slots made at the shaft ends. Along its length, the shaft is equipped with a number of clamping elements capable of pressing the clamping rods (4) against the surface of the shaft and securing the midsection of a cutting wire in the groove (5) of the shaft.
