Raise Your Productivity with John Deere Wide Cut Mowing Systems
All John Deere Mower Conditioners feature a unique low
profile cutterbar design providing excellent cutting and conditioning
performance, and reduced maintenance requirements. Using a rotary disk
design operators can cut at high ground speeds, through tough tangled
crops and still achieve a clean cut. Furthermore the proven John Deere
conditioning systems promote high quality forage and achieve faster
dry down.
Building on these unique features and in response to the growing interest
in wide cut mower conditioners several new products are now available
for the 2005 season. John Deere now offers a Triple Mower Conditioner
(TMC190) for 6010, 6050 or 7000 Series Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters;
the all-new tractor mounted 381 and 388 Twin Rear Mower Conditioners;
and a range of unique Groupers for John Deere Side Pull and Centre
Pivot Mower Conditioners to turn wide cuts into twin windrows with
ease. All machines are designed to increase productivity, reduce working
time and provide fast drying times.
The TMC190 attaches to the front of a John Deere Self Propelled
Forage Harvester in place of the cutterhead assembly and is a combination
of 3 x 131 Front Mower Conditioners mounted on a foldable main frame.
The front mower is fast and easy to remove from the forage harvester – about
two hours are required to swap from cutting to chopping and vice versa.
The TMC190 features a 9 metre cutting width and is the perfect mower
conditioner for contractors looking for extremely high productivity,
high cutting quality, and easy transportation – as it folds quickly
to under three metres.
The all-new 381 and 388 Twin Rear-Mounted Mower Conditioners feature
two mowers fitted to one rear frame used in combination with a 131
Front Mounted Mower to achieve up to 8.8 m cuts of grass in a single
pass. Requiring tractor PTO power of 120 kW (160hp) and 140 kW (190hp)
respectively, the 381 and 388 Mower Conditioners are an exceptional
John Deere wide mowing system with outstanding cutting quality, high
working speed, high capacity, excellent flotation features and easy
road transport.
Push productivity higher with the unique Grouper from John Deere.
To be used with or without front mower conditioner, this implement
lets
the operator combine two normal windrows for more efficient harvesting
of the conditioned crop. Double windrows significantly reduce the
number of passes required and are perfectly matched to John Deere’s
extensive range of high capacity harvesting equipment. Available
as field installation kit, Groupers are designed to fit selected
Side
Pull and Centre Pivot Mower Conditioners.
All Mower Conditioners feature proven John Deere conditioning systems
to promote high quality forage and achieve faster dry down. The free-swinging
steel tynes of the impeller conditioning system are significantly
stronger than plastic tynes and produce a fluffy windrow that allows
for better
air and sunlight penetration. Likewise the optional Urethane Rolls
conditioning system, available on Side Pull and Centre Pivot Mower
Conditioners, feature an intermittent recessed cleat design providing
21% more crimping edges than chevron rubber rolls. These urethane
rolls thoroughly crimp the crop preserving the leaves and nutrients.
