Krone 242 disc mower blade change

jmthompson437 · Apr 8, 2021

Hello!

Hoping a more seasoned veteran of hay could advise me on changing blades on my Krone 242. I don't feel this is the modern variant with the quik-change option where the blades are removed/replaced with a pry-lever tool...

I'm thinking breaker bar and/or maybe impact wrench to remove/replace blades?

I have done two cuttings with it last season and it cut rather poorly (swathes missed/laid flat)..

Any advice?

Thanks,
JMT

I change the blades on my Krone AM283 utilizing an impact wrench. Be sure to orient the blades cutting edge in correct direction of blade carrier rotation direction

we resharpen them on the machine with a small handheld grinder when thats no longer is feasable ,yes ; impact works best
