Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Mower Conditioner Options  Sickle Cutterbar - roll conditioner  Disk Cutterbar - roll conditioner  Disk Cutterbar - impeller conditioner

Cross Section of Crop Stem Stems have a waxy surface called cutin Conditioning should crack the stem surface for faster drying

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Conditioner width as percent of cutting width Maximum Swath Width Conditioner Width

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Maximum swath width versus cutting width Maximum Swath Width Cutting Width

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Put hay into wide swath Keep off of ground

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Conditioned hay

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Conditioner types Flail/impellers Rubber Rolls

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Rollers vs flail (impeller) conditioners

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Roll and Impeller Comparison Roll creates a crushing action Impeller creates a stripping action Impeller has greater capacity Impeller tends to have higher losses Roll with rotary mower will leave strips in light crops (Limited air through rear of machine)

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Drying Rate Comparisons CutterbarConditioner Drying Rate SickleRoll+.2 hr(2nd) RotaryRoll0(1st) RotaryImpeller+1.8 hr(3rd)

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Conditioner drying rates AlfalfaGrass

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Conditioner field losses Flail conditioners have 2 to 3 % higher field losses with alfalfa. The loss is all leaves so forage quality is significantly reduced. Stems Leaves

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Adjust conditioner properly Tension on rollers Spacing of rollers

Dan Undersander-Agronomy © 2007 Adjust conditioner roller spacing Measure clearance where “Crimp” or smallest clearance occurs
