Scope
This document specifies requirements for blades used as cutting elements on rotary disc mowers and rotary drum mowers used for forage crop harvesting in agriculture only (as defined in ISO 4254-12) that are mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled.
It specifies requirements for testing and marking of such blades.
This document is not applicable to blades used on:
- flail mowers;
- large rotary mowers covered by ISO 4254-13;
- arm-type large rotary mowers;
- pedestrian-controlled motor mowers;
- lawn mowers covered by ISO 5395.
Purpose
There are a variety of cutting element types that can be used on rotary disc and rotary drum mowers.
This document will provide specific requirements for blades used on this type of equipment. The development of other parts of this standard will provide clear guidance on blade testing and performance specific to certain cutting element (blades in this case) types.
