Finger Conditioner
Finger conditioners use rotating fingers to carry crop over the drum and rub against an adjustable conditioning hood. The
rubbing action removes the plant
’
s waxy layer and promotes moisture evaporation. Finger conditioners work well in
legumes and most all-grass crops, especially alfalfa. Finger conditioners are not recommended for thick-stemmed or cane
crops such as Sudan or Sudex, or for crops taller than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
