Conditioner Rolls
Fully Engaged Conditioner Rolls
The crop is crimped by the action of the condi-
tioner rolls cracking the plant stem along it’s en-
tire length. Crop leaves are retained, for higher
hay protein content.
Conditioner rolls are available from the factory
steel on steel only, as it has been found that
rubber roll wear is unacceptably high in a high
capacity disc mower conditioner. The fully en-
gaged conditioner rolls conditions the plant
stems with reduced leaf loss, and steel-on-steel
design wears less, for superior quality hay and
long machine life.
Conditioner Drive
The spur gearbox directly drives the conditioner
rolls through u-joint drive shafts. The gearbox is
continually lubed, so maintenance is reduced.
The u-joint drives to the conditioner rolls are
very durable. They are designed to withstand
the rolls continual opening and closing. The
continually lubed gearbox and u-joint drive
shafts provide quiet and reliable drive, for lower
maintenance expense and less downtime.
110-inch Conditioner Rolls
The 110-inch wide rolls allow the crop mat to
be spread out, so the rolls aren’t opened as
wide in heavy crop. This gives the rolls room to
open farther, even in the heaviest crops. Be-
cause the crop mat is thinner, each individual
crop stem can be conditioned more uniformly.
The wide rolls condition the crop more uni-
formly and thoroughly, increasing the total
value of the crop.
