DISCBINE® PLUS CENTER-PIVOT DISC MOWER-CONDITIONERS

WIDEDRY™ CONDITIONING SYSTEMS DRY HAY FAST

To adapt to crop types, changing conditions, and seasonality, you need an adaptable conditioning system that’s sized appropriately to the cutterbar. WideDry™ conditioning systems deliver. Unlike competitive machines with narrow conditioning systems and multiple pairs of co-rotating discs, WideDry means you get smooth crop flow from the cutterbar to the appropriately-sized conditioning system of your choice. Whether you choose the chevron intermeshing rubber or steel rolls, or the LeaningEdge™ flail tine conditioning system, you’ll find infinite adjustments and impressive uniformity that lead to faster dry down.

CHEVRON INTERMESHING RUBBER ROLLS

For maximum versatility, choose gentle chevron rubber intermeshing rolls. They provide full-stem crimping and cracking of high-value legume crops, like alfalfa and clover. The rubber compound and wide chevron lug profile gently handle delicate leaves for maximum forage quality.

CHEVRON INTERMESHING STEEL ROLLS

Durable chevron steel intermeshing rolls are designed for use with all crops but show a real advantage in cane-type crops, grain forage crops and extra-tall grass crops. Rugged, all-steel roll construction resists wear, providing long life even in highly abrasive conditions.

NON-STOP, PLUG-FREE MOWING

Both roll conditioning systems feature torsion-bar roll-pressure for consistent, thorough conditioning. For non-stop mowing, the unique linkage allows crop slugs and foreign objects to pass through without plugging. The hand crank makes it easy to tailor roll pressure to the crop you’re mowing without having to crawl under the machine with wrenches.

CLOSING THE GAP

Setting and maintaining roll gap is critical for proper conditioning and fast dry down. When set too wide, crop is missed. When set too narrow, field losses may increase, or crop may be difficult to feed through the rolls. That’s why adjustment is external, for easy access.

SLOW YOUR ROLL

Roll conditioning systems generate air movement that can blow lighter crop away from the cutterbar and adversely affect cut quality. To help prevent this, you can slow roll speed from 750 rpm to 640 rpm by switching the sheaves on the roll drive. The decreased roll speed minimizes air bursts, while maintaining cutterbar speed to provide excellent cut quality in light crops.

TROUBLE-FREE IN DIFFICULT CONDITIONS

To prevent crop buildup and protect roll bearings, both roll conditioning systems are fitted with greaseable upper roll bearings and lower roll shaft scrapers.
