Focus on Feed Quality
The DC3 series disc mower conditioners provide industry leading cut and crimp for superior hay quality and optimal windrow formation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Optimal Cut & Crimp for Highest Quality Hay
Low-profile cutterbar with wide dics cut closer and cleaner to encourage faster crop regrowth Agronomic design improvements help maintain harvest quality and retain nutrients Updated cutterbar improves crop flow and delivers more even windrows Consistently faster and more even dry down thanks to the industry-leading conditioning roll widths | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Designed for easy, uninterrupted use
Easy machine adjustments provide the flexibility to meet individual and varied crop preparation standards No-tools adjustment of conditioners, swath doors and swath boards for an easy in-field adjustments Lightweight, impact-resistance access doors provide simplified access for any adjustment Maintenance is minimized thanks to fewer discs and a simplified drive system More counter-roatating discs provide efficient crop feeding into conditioners | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ready when you need it
Added durability thanks to larger gears, bearings and interconnecting shafts Modular cutterbar design provides superior lubrication compared to competitive systems, and eliminates cross-contamination if an internal failure were to occur Shock protection system saves time and money when obstacles are encountered Simplified drive system with fewer parts | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Larger heavier components provide you with long-lasting durability
The cutterbar on the new DC3 series mower conditioners will feature the same large disc cutterbar system featured on the RD3 series disc headers for the WD3 series DC3 disc mower conditioners. The combination of larger disc diameters and wider conditioning systems allows the crop to move rearward off the cutterbar sooner to improve crop flow and windrow consistency in tall crops | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Large Disc Cutterbar
Customer benefits include: Larger gears, bearings and interconnecting shafts for greater durability Larger and heavier components allow for heavier shock protection system reducing disc failures Larger diameter discs provide lower cut heights at reduced tilt angle resulting in consistent cut height without scalloping Larger diameter discs create a smooth and shorter transition of crop flow to the conditioning system for improved windrow formation Reduced number of discs means fewer moving parts and lower potential maintenance costs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Elimination of co-rotating discs
Conditioner - 125" wide; Disc Diameter - 24.3" Aids in the elimination of co-rotating discs on a 13 ft. model and one set on the 16 ft. model | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The most reliable rotary disc cutterbed anywhere...
...one that survives the toughest cutting conditions with minimum maintenance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DC2 Disc Mower Conditioners Feature:
A modular cutterbar design with superior crop flow, resulting in less streaking A heavy-duty frame and rugged canopy that have a cantilevered design for smooth crop flow across the cutterbar Shock hubs, now standard on all four models of DC2 rotary disc mowers Roll and flail conditioning options available on all models | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Shock Hubs
Shock hubs are now standard on all four models of DC Series rotary disc mower conditioners. The system replaces the drive hub of discs with a shock hub, making in-field repairs fast and easy. Helps prevent time-robbing, expensive field failures when an obstruction is encountered Shock hub “takes the blow” from collisions with rocks and debris Protects internal components of the cutterbed | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Disc Modules
Bearings, gears and lubricant for each disc module are individually sealed — damage to one module does not spread to another Modular design ensures complete gear lubrication, even when cutting on slopes Two heavy-duty knives on each disc spin at 3000 rpm to slice through heavy crops Knives are reversible for twice the cutting life One bolt per knife allows for quick flipping or replacing of knives from the front of the cutterbed — without raising the header The steep profile design lifts the crop directly into conditioning rolls Discs are austempered for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Bale or Chop Sooner
Spiral steel-on-steel or rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls provide fast drydown Saves time in the field by clearing slugs automatically Allows for easy changes in conditioning intensity Custom-built windrows or swaths Spread the crop out in a wide, fast-drying swath Form the crop into a narrow, fluffy windrow that’s ready for baling or chopping All adjustments to the swathboard, windrow shields and fluffing baffle can be made without tools | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Conditioning Rolls
Torsion-bar design Applies equal force to the upper conditioning roll arms Provides uniform conditioning, regardless of crop thickness Intermeshing spiral conditioning rolls have superior crimping and crushing action for faster drydown Rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls are standard on DC92, DC102 and DC132 Rugged steel-on-steel rolls are standard on DC162, optional on DC102 and DC132 Easily handle higher crop volume and faster ground speeds No-tools crank adjustment Changing conditioning roll pressure is quick and easy for greater productivity The system releases pressure when the upper roll reaches its maximum opening | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Flail Conditioning
Now available with all models. Uses tapered flails to pick up crop and rub it together and against the conditioning hood Faster drydown because the waxy layer on the stems is removed and moisture is released quickly Straight flails release crop more easily than competitive systems Produce a more uniform crop mat that lays on top of the stubble Results in better air circulation in the windrow and more thorough drying |
