The front mounted disc mower is intended for mowing green fodder such as grass and alfalfa on
permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and forming loose rows of cut
fodder. The pasture or field being mown should be even and best if prepared by rolling. In the event
there is a majority of tall grass, the first and second mowing should be done at a height of 2.4" -
2.8", while with a majority of short grass, at a height of 2". The last mowing should be done a little
higher - at 2.8" - 3.1" from the ground.
❑
The front mounted disc mower with tine/roller conditioner is intended for mowing green fodder
such as grass and alfalfa on permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and
forming loose rows of cut forage. As a result of the passing of the layers of the green fodder
through the flails or rollers, the grass stems are broken and a layer of wax is removed. This
facilitates and speeds up the drying process of the fodder by approximately 30 to 40%. The use of
rollers is especially recommended when mowing legumes such as alfalfa
Rollers are particularly
recommended for mowing grass legume such as alfalfa. The pasture or field being mown should
be even, best if prepared by rolling. This is especially true of mowers with rollers as they tolerate
rocks with a diameter of a few inches. If a larger stone is picked up stop and remove it as it could
cause damage of the discs. With a majority of tall grasses the first and second mowing should be
done at a height of 2.4" - 2.8", while with a majority of short grass it should be cut at a height of 2".
The last cut should be done a little higher - at 2.8" - 3.1"from the ground.
