Description

When you’re out cutting hay and notice your mower isn’t cutting as clean as it should, or you’re seeing more tearing than cutting, it’s probably time to check those drum knives. A dull or damaged knife doesn’t just leave rough stubble—it wastes fuel, puts extra strain on your equipment, and can affect how well your hay cures. This KONDEX left-hand drum knife gets your disc mower back to making those clean, precise cuts you need for quality hay.

What You’re Getting

Sharp, precision-engineered blade that cuts cleanly through grass and alfalfa
14-degree twist design optimizes cutting angle and helps lift crop for better flow
Counter-clockwise rotation specifically designed for left-hand drum positions
Durable steel construction that holds its edge longer than cheaper alternatives
Direct replacement that bolts right onto your existing drum assembly

Built for Real Farm Work

This knife works on CNH disc mowers found on Case IH and New Holland tractors, the kind of mid-size to large machines you’ll find cutting hay fields, pastures, and roadside ditches. Whether you’re running a dedicated mower-conditioner or a pull-type disc mower, this knife handles everything from tender spring grass to tough stemmy alfalfa that’s gotten a bit too mature.

Made to Last

KONDEX has been making cutting tools for decades, and they know what works in farm conditions. This knife is built from quality steel that stays sharp longer and resists chipping when you hit the occasional rock or fence post. The 14-degree twist isn’t just for looks—it helps the knife slice through crop material more efficiently while moving cut material away from the cutting area.

Good to Know

You’ll want to replace drum knives in sets to keep your cut even and prevent extra vibration. Check your bolt kit—this knife uses the RF926K kit that’s common on CNH equipment. When installing, make sure the twist angles all face the same direction, and don’t forget to torque the bolts to spec. A quick tip: if you’re replacing several knives, mark which drum each one came from so you can balance any weight differences.
