They are a direct-fit replacement for all AGCO big square knotter heads, produced to tight tolerances with chromatized or galvanized parts. Customer proven to outperform OEM at a fraction of the cost, but they are aftermarket, not factory-supplied.

Both. We ship complete packer crank and pickup assemblies ready to bolt on, single components like twine fingers or slacker springs, and weld-in repair kits for the stuffer arm cam bearing mount.
