Easy-to-remove disc quill

The mower's cutterbar is safeguarded against severe impacts. Should an obstacle be hit, the drive shaft shears, protecting internal components. Disc quills, which can be easily removed, improve serviceability and reduce maintenance costs with each featuring two replaceable knives.
