Built for Cotton Harvesting
This shim is designed specifically for John Deere cotton picker bottom bar assemblies, where maintaining proper clearances is crucial for effective cotton removal. Cotton pickers work in demanding conditions with lots of dust, moisture, and plant material, so every component needs to hold up to constant use throughout long harvest days.
Made to Last
PickSmart manufactures this shim from durable materials that resist compression and maintain their dimensions even after thousands of acres. The precise thickness ensures consistent spacing between picker bar components, which helps prevent premature wear and keeps your cotton picker operating smoothly season after season.
Installation Notes
These shims are typically used during picker bar rebuilds or when adjusting spindle clearances. Always check your service manual for proper shimming procedures and torque specifications. It’s a good idea to inspect all shims during routine maintenance and replace any that show wear or damage.
