A Haulm Cutting Apparatus

A haulm cutting apparatus comprising lateral and vertical guiding means or surfaces and a first, rotatable shear rotatable around an axis of rotation extending in a direction with a vertical component, and further comprising a counter shear for cooperation with the first, rotatable shear, wherein the first, rotatable shear and counter shear are positioned in a side-by-side relationship relative to a direction of travel during operation.

A haulm cutting apparatus comprising lateral and vertical guiding means or surfaces and a first, rotatable shear rotatable around an axis of rotation extending in a direction with a vertical component, and further comprising a counter shear for cooperation with the first, rotatable shear, wherein the first, rotatable shear and counter shear are positioned in a side-by-side relationship relative to a direction of travel during operation, and wherein at least one of the first, rotatable shear and the counter shear comprise a circular disc with a recessed rim portion.

A haulm cutting apparatus comprising lateral and vertical guiding means or surfaces and a first, rotatable shear rotatable around an axis of rotation extending in a direction with a vertical component, and further comprising a counter shear for cooperation with the first, rotatable shear, wherein the first, rotatable shear and counter shear are positioned in a side-by-side relationship relative to a direction of travel during operation, wherein the lateral and vertical guiding means or surfaces comprise one of:

• abutment surfaces for abutment on opposite slanted ground surfaces;
• and at least one ground abutment surface for vertical guidance, and mutually opposite haulm engaging surfaces positioned in front of the first, rotatable shear and the counter shear for lateral guidance of the apparatus relative to the direction of travel during operation.
