The cutterhead on New Holland's Model 717 forage harvester is built to take tough going. The knives are backed along their full length by a thick steel plate—to protect the cutterhead from damage and provide extra support for maximum cylinder stability in toughest cutting. Built-in sharpener lets you put a razor edge back on blades in minutes. With the “7l7's” sharp knives, you al ways get a clean, fine cut—the kind that packs tight, keeps better, and is morej palatable. RH New Holland R.
