Genuine Schumacher 42049.01 | 18° right-hand rotary disc mower knife designed as a premium replacement for AGCO OEM 7000715575 used on selected AGCO, Hesston, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, and New Idea disc mowers and mower conditioners.

This knife is part of the Schumacher Radura PrimeLine premium cutting line, built for consistent cut quality, durability, and long service life in demanding mowing conditions.

Why 18° twist mower knives?
The maximum-lift design helps move crop aggressively over the cutterbar for improved feeding, cleaner cutting, and strong crop flow in light, downed, or difficult crop conditions. It provides more lift than 14° or flatter low-angle knives while maintaining dependable cutting performance.

Important – How disc mower knives work:
Each cutter disc uses two knives that are mirror images of each other. These knives are not interchangeable. One knife mounts on one side of the disc, and the matching opposite knife mounts on the other side to keep the disc balanced and cutting correctly.

Schumacher 42049.01 corresponds to the knife commonly referenced as AGCO 7000715575. It is one half of the required knife pair on the cutter disc. The matching opposite knife is Schumacher 42050.01, which replaces AGCO 7000715576.

This is the clockwise / right-turning knife in the matched pair. Some suppliers describe knives as “left-hand” or “right-hand,” but those terms can change depending on how the disc is viewed. The most reliable way to identify the correct knife is by the part number, knife shape, twist angle, and mounting dimensions.
