Mower Conditioner Brochure - John Deere

Conditioning Systems
More and more growers are
turning to proven John Deere conditioning
systems to boost overall
forage quality. John Deere conditioning
systems can significantly reduce
drying time and quick, simple adjustments
make it easy to match conditioning
levels to field conditions.
Steel tines on the John Deere
impeller conditioner gently rub the
crop together to remove the waxy
layer. Each robust tine swings freely
to reduce the potential for damage
from stones and other solid objects.
And John Deere impellers are
individually balanced to eliminate
vibration.
Steel impeller tines are significantly stronger than plastic tines,
giving you better crop pickup and faster field speeds.
The steel V-shaped tines work like fingers, picking the crop up and
moving it through the machine. The crop rubs together and against the
conditioning hood. This removes the stem’s waxy layer, allowing moisture
to escape. Leaves and stubble remain intact to protect nutrients.
Top conditioning in all
The large John Deere steel impeller
has a high moment of inertia for low power
consumption and higher throughput. Kinetic
energy works as a torque reserve for thicker
crop areas, allowing the use of low power tractors.
The distance between tine tips and conditioning hood can be
adjusted without tools for changing conditioning intensity.
The John Deere advantage – conditioning
• Steel tine impellers are stronger than plastic tines
• Impellers are individually balanced for longer life
• High inertia of impeller reduces power and fuel consumption
• Crops dry faster – for faster harvests and better quality forage
• More tasty forage means: Better Milk and Beef Yields
