1 INTRODUCTION
The LELY SPLENDIMO 240 MC is a mower conditioner suitable
for mowing grass. A characteristic feature of the SPLENDIMO MC
mower is the central attachment of the mower unit, which allows
optimum ground contour following.
The machine can mow on slopes up to approximately 20° up and 20°
down.
The machine is built up of a cutter bar and a conditioner unit.
The cutter bar is fitted with mower discs, complete with the LELY
SPLENDIMO CLIP quick-change system (fig. 1). The cutter bar is
composed of cutting units according to the modular LELY system.
These elements as well as the intermediate spacers are torqued
together by a connecting rod.
The first cutting unit (drive element) is driven from the top. A
spring-steel shaft, which is driven from the first cutting unit, drives
the other units of the cutter bar. Only minimal power is required
thanks to this configuration.
The elements rotate in pairs, either to the left or right.
The IMPELLER conditioner unit (fig. 2) comprises a rotor fitted
with fingers made of an impact-resistant synthetic material, a metal
hood with swathboards as well as a crop inlet plate for adjusting the
conditioning intensity.
The conditioner unit operates over almost the entire cutting width.
Crop treatment is such that patches of the waxy layer on the stem are
removed and thick stems are broken. The crop is turned slightly and
laid down behind the machine in an airy, narrow swath. There is
therefore minimum contact between the crop and the moist field,
and there is no need to drive on mown crops.
The SPLENDIMO 240 MC mower can be controlled with just one
hydraulic ram. Ground pressure can be adjusted in 3 positions by
repositioning the stop plate of the spring assembly.
A breakback device prevents damage to the machine if an obstacle
is hit.
