A modular cutterbar assembly capable of moving in a direction of travel may include a first module forming a first surface, a second surface, a front edge, and a rear edge. The assembly may also include a second module coupled to the first module such that the second module forms a first surface, a second surface, a front edge, and a rear edge. A joint is defined between first and second module and defining a joint plane. A first coupler is defined through the joint of the first and second modules at each respective front edge and defining a first coupler axis, and a second coupler is defined through the joint of the first and second modules at each respective rear edge and defining a second coupler axis. The joint plane is angled relative to the direction of travel.
