Schumacher | SCH Pro Cut Knife Section – Coarse Serrated Section | 10978.04
Genuine Schumacher 10978.04 | SCH Pro Cut coarse serrated knife section with 7 serrations per inch, designed for headers using SCH EasyCut and EasyCut II cutting systems. This heavy-duty section is built for aggressive cutting in tough, woody, or thick-stemmed crop conditions across a wide range of draper and specialty header platforms.
Pricing & Packaging:
This product is priced per individual knife section. The listed price is for one section. Schumacher manufacturer packaging is a box of 25 sections, so order 25 if you need a full box.
This Schumacher header knife section, also commonly called a sickle section or sickle knife section, is a through-hardened SCH Pro Cut section with an extra-coarse 7 TPI serration pattern for heavy crop conditions where fine-tooth sections may plug or slip.
Why choose a 7 TPI SCH Pro Cut knife section?
The 7 teeth per inch serration pattern is designed to bite aggressively into tough, fibrous, and thick-stemmed material. This style is well suited to green-stem soybeans, alfalfa, forage crops, sunflowers, and high-weed grain conditions where stronger cutting action is needed.
Important – Match the knife section to the cutting system:
Make sure you are using the correct knife section, guards, knife back, and mounting hardware for your cutterbar. This section is intended for SCH EasyCut and EasyCut II systems and compatible headers or conversion kits using the matching SCH knife system.
Schumacher 10978.04 is commonly cross-referenced under multiple SCH, OEM, and aftermarket numbers because SCH cutting systems are used across several draper and specialty header brands. It is especially common on HoneyBee, Mid West, New Holland, Capello, and retrofit platforms using SCH conversion systems.
For best cutting performance, use the proper SCH section bolts and locking hardware matched to the knife back and cutterbar system.
