REDEFINING THE DISC MOWER-CONDITIONER

You need equipment that improves your productivity to help you make hay when conditions are right and preserve valuable nutrients. You need a mower that cuts fast, close and clean and provides uniform conditioning. You also need innovative and durable solutions that protect your investment and give you more uptime. That’s exactly what a Discbine® PLUS offers. It’s built on a legacy of durability and innovation to deliver the dependability and productivity that only a genuine Discbine® can provide. More than just bold styling, it’ll be an added PLUS for your haymaking operation, with features including cutterbar upgrades for the cleanest cut yet and improved swath control for even faster dry down. A disc mower-conditioner isn’t a genuine Discbine® unless it’s built and backed by the best in the business: New Holland.

Features
  • Lawn-Like Cut, Commercial-Grade Durability: The MowMax II PLUS true modular cutterbar delivers our cleanest and closest cut yet. It’s similar to the cutterbar featured on Durabine™ PLUS disc headers for Speedrower® PLUS self-propelled windrowers, which means you get commercial-grade durability and performance. Plus, you’ll find a variety of enhancements over our previous generation.
  • Save Time With The Quickmax™ Knife-Change System: Time is precious when you’re making hay. To save you time and keep you cutting clean, the patented QuickMax™ knife-change system is standard on all Discbine® PLUS models. The system lets you quickly change knives with discs at a 45-degree angle to the cutterbar. In just seconds, you can change knives in just one-half cutterbar rotation, saving you time compared to traditional bolted knives and other competitive quick-change systems. Knife-lock technology assures that each knife is retained in the most difficult conditions. Best of all, the system does not require the use of special knives—it works with all approved New Holland knives.
  • 3-Year Mowmax Cutterbar Warranty: Every Discbine PLUS gives you peace of mind provided by 36 months of cutterbar warranty coverage, which includes one full year of base factory warranty plus two additional years of cutterbar warranty. You’re backed by the best in the business.
  • Set The Height You Like: It’s quick and easy to set cutting height using the travel-limiting pin. For the highest cut height, insert the pin into the rearmost hole. For the lowest setting, remove the pin and store it on the cylinder to allow the head to move through its full tilt range. For the best performance, operate headland lift in the float position, and the head tips back to adapt to terrain.
  • Chevron Intermeshing Rubber Rolls: For maximum versatility, choose gentle chevron rubber intermeshing rolls. They provide full-stem crimping and cracking of high-value legume crops, like alfalfa and clover. The rubber compound and wide chevron lug profile gently handle delicate leaves for maximum forage quality.
  • Chevron Intermeshing Steel Rolls: Durable chevron steel intermeshing rolls are designed for use with all crops but show a real advantage in cane-type crops, grain forage crops and extra-tall grass crops. Rugged, all-steel roll construction resists wear, providing long life even in highly abrasive conditions.
  • Non-Stop, Plug-Free Mowing: Both roll conditioning systems feature torsion-bar roll-pressure for consistent, thorough conditioning. For non-stop mowing, the unique linkage allows crop slugs and foreign objects to pass through without plugging. The hand crank makes it easy to tailor roll pressure to the crop you’re mowing without having to crawl under the machine with wrenches.
  • Closing The Gap: Setting and maintaining roll gap is critical for proper conditioning and fast dry down. When set too wide, crop is missed. When set too narrow, field losses may increase, or crop may be difficult to feed through the rolls. That’s why the adjustment is handled externally, for easy access.
  • Slow Your Roll: Roll conditioning systems generate air movement that can blow lighter crop away from the cutterbar and adversely affect cut quality. To help prevent this, you can slow roll speed from 750 rpm to 640 rpm by switching the sheaves on the roll drive. The decreased roll speed minimizes air bursts, while maintaining cutterbar speed to provide excellent cut quality in light crops.
  • Trouble-Free In Difficult Conditions: To prevent crop buildup and protect roll bearings, both roll conditioning systems are fitted with greaseable upper roll bearings and lower roll shaft scrapers.
  • Semi-Swinging Tine Design: Tines are individually mounted so they can swing freely rearward, providing protection from rocks and debris. The semi-swinging design ensures crop is released at the ideal moment to form uniform, fast-drying swaths or windrows. It also prevents forward overswing to ensure the tines are always ideally positioned to pick up crop, while crop discharge is improved compared to fully swinging tine designs.
  • Adjusting Conditioning Intensity: For lighter conditioning of delicate crops, raise the hood away from the flails. Or, for maximum conditioning, lower the hood to increase friction. A crop-conditioning gauge lets you see the relative hood position. A dealer-installed textured hood liner is also available for even more aggressive conditioning.
  • Delicate Conditioning: For even more delicate conditioning, a dealer-installed rotor slowdown kit slows the flail rotor from 1042 rpm to 752 rpm.
  • Windrow Formation: The LeaningEdge flail tine conditioning system is fitted with additional safety guards, including a rear curtain, support, and unique windrow-forming shields. While different than roll conditioning systems, adjustment of the horizontal swath gate is done on the left end of the header behind the bevel gearbox and provides the same functionality.
  • The Advantages Of Spreading Crop Wide And Thin: University tests confirm that the more leaves that are exposed to the sun, the faster crops dry and the more feed value is retained. Quick drying reduces sun bleaching and gives you an advantage when you need to beat the weather and bale or chop before the rain. Along with the WideDry™ conditioning system of your choice, the swath board wedges, and adjustable fins spread your crop wide and thin, exposing it to more sun for faster drying.
  • Better Control Means Better Windrows: The full-width horizontal swath gate has been extended five inches longer than prior models for improved crop control and greater windrow uniformity. Adjustable crop-spreading wedges help break up crop streams, while adjustable crop fins provide additional windrow control. Windrows can be neatly shaped as narrow as three-feet-wide to any setting in between—up to six feet on the 310 PLUS, seven feet on the 312 PLUS, or eight feet on the 313 PLUS and 316 PLUS.
  • Wedges And Fins: Windrow forming shields are over five inches taller than previous models and work with the swath gate to produce a tunnel effect. Specifically, this taller design—with greater curvature at the bottom—provides more precise windrow control, helping to tuck the edges in for neater-looking swaths with improved dry down.
  • Better Protection. Less Maintenance.: The Discbine® PLUS header is suspended independently from the trail frame, letting it closely follow changing ground contours and reduce stubble damage and skid-shoe wear. Trail frame wheels are located on the inside of the frame, allowing for better contour following on uneven terrain. Use the adjustable header flotation springs to reduce cutterbar ground pressure, ensuring the head tracks the ground precisely so you harvest all your valuable crop.
  • Clean Cutting With Ideal Protection: Innovative header suspension geometry results in responsive flotation. When operated in float, the tilt cylinder can automatically retract to adapt to contours, while the innovative header linkage allows the header to move up and rearward to dissipate force if you encounter an obstacle. To provide for free flotation of the head, the flotation springs are anchored to the trail frame with a ball joint to reduce binding as the header moves through its full flotation range.
  • Fast, Worry-Free Headland Turns: For ultimate maneuverability, especially on headlands, the Discbine PLUS Series is equipped with either a drawbar swivel or two-point attachment swivel-style hitch. Compared to traditional hitches that pivot on the drawbar, the pivoting action of a swivel hitch is moved rearward, behind the PTO, at the swivel gearbox. No matter how sharp you turn, the PTO remains straight, virtually eliminating PTO wear and the risk of the PTO and tractor lift arm colliding.
  • Geared For Benefits: All Discbine PLUS models feature a swivel-style hitch, heavy-duty gearboxes for power transfer, and well-protected drivelines with turn bumpers to simplify maintenance and unclutter the top of the header. Power is transferred from the front swivel gearbox to a second swivel gearbox at the rear of the tongue, so the drivelines never swing and maintain perfect alignment. Only the driveline extending from the second swivel box to the header drive bevel gearbox extends and retracts as the header raises and lowers. All models are fitted with a combination slip and overrunning clutch behind the main swivel gearbox to protect both the mower and your tractor. U-joints are easily accessible for servicing, and the lube interval is 50 hours for maximum uptime.
  • Travel With Confidence: The center-pivot design, transport lights, and safety locks on the wheel cylinders let you travel to and from the field with confidence. A one-quarter turn valve on the hose end and a Pilot Operated (PO) check valve on the cylinder prevents tongue swing in transport.
