Features
Heavy-Duty MD72, MD82 and MD92
Cutterbar shock protection standard
Handles most any crop condition, from wet field to downed crops
Built with heat-treated components to stand up to extreme conditions
Uses a close-coupled design for maximum ride stability, especially in tight turns
Modular Cutterbar
Results in superior crop flow that reduces streaking
Ensures quick mowing
Heavy-duty frame and rugged canopy use a cantilevered design for smooth crop flow across cutterbar
Smooth-Profile Discs
Lift crop into the cutting zone for plug-free mowing
Provides a consistent swath for more even drying
Each disc is 3/16-in. (4.8-mm)-thick and heat treated to resist damage
Discs are shielded by 1/4-in. (6.4-mm)-thick by 8-in. (203-mm)-wide skid shoes
The shape of skid shoes work with the tilt of the cutterbar to provide a wide range of mowing heights
The gearbox oil in modular cutting discs performs up to 200 hours between changes
Rotating Modular Knife Blades
A rotating modular knife blade provides thorough and uniform crop cutting.
Each disc houses two knife blades
Blades rotate at 3,000 rpm
Disc hardware is specially designed and treated for extreme durability to resist abrasive conditions
Independent, sealed and self-contained modules resist damage.
Short, independent splined driveshaft sections link modules
Shafts are made from alloy steel with roll-formed splines for strength and are hardened for added durability
Maintenance
MD72, MD82 and MD92 — engineered for ease of maintenance
Reversible knife blades change quickly without raising the cutterbed
Knife bolts are located on top of the modular discs for easy access
Discs can be in any position when performing maintenance
If an object is struck during operation, a spring-loaded cutterbed breakaway latch releases
Greasable, sintered bushings ensure the cutterbar releases fully when the breakaway latch is activated
A heavy-duty, puncture-resistant curtain provides protection for operator and bystanders
A polyester-vinyl curtain tilts the crop forward for better flow across the cutterbar
High-stress components are protected from debris by T-seal washers and lip seals
Hassle-Free Transport
When in the transport position, the MD72, MD82 and MD92 become compact packages with ride stability and plenty of ground clearance.
The cutterbar transport lock automatically engages for a secure hold
The cutterbar is spring-balanced from end to end
Allows the mower to glide over uneven terrain smoothly
Can be adjusted for all conditions
The V-belt tension spring has an easily visible indicator for quick inspection of belt tension
Changing belt tension is convenient with single-point adjustment
No shields to remove
A tethered pin activates the flotation spring for cutting and is repositioned when using the parking stand
MDX Series economy disc mowers are available in three widths, from 5 ft. 6 in.–7 ft. 11 in. (1,676–2,413 mm).
Features include:
Two high-quality, reversible knives per disc on four, five or six oval cutting discs
Rock guards and skid shoes to protect discs and carry the cutterbar over uneven ground
An enclosed gear-driven cutterbar that provides years of reliable service
A 540-rpm PTO driveline with overrunning clutch to protect the tractor driveline
Adjustable flotation springs for changing cutterbar ground pressure
An articulation joint that allows mowers to operate above and below horizontal
A spring-loaded breakaway latch that protects the cutterbar
A single-acting hydraulic cylinder that easily lifts the cutterbar after each pass
3-point hitch mounting
