Mower Conditioners

Rotary Disc -Mower Conditioners

High speed, high quality

Glide through lush stands of lucerne, acres of dense grass and even tough cane crops, at high ground speeds. Case IH DC3 series center-pivot disc mower conditioners combine fast cutting with high-quality conditioning. Choose from two new models, the DC133 and DC163, built to handle a variety of crops and designed for easy, uninterrupted use. Both let you move quickly and easily from field to field, offer intuitive operation with fewer, simpler adjustments and allow you to pick up speed while maintaining consistent cutting when bad weather is on the horizon. These join the proven DC102 side pull mower conditioner for a range of cutting widths from 3.16m to 4.9m

DC3 serie with larger, fewer discs

Cut heights are more consistent, thanks to new, larger diameter discs that cut lower and at a reduced tilt angle. This combination of larger disc diameters and wider conditioning systems allows the crop to move rearward off the cutterbar sooner, improving crop flow and windrow consistency in tall crops. Fewer discs also means less horsepower is needed to run the mower conditioner.
Simplified drivelines

Case IH DC3 series mower conditioners are driven from the left side of the machine, delivering consistent power across all key functions. The swivel gearbox does not require a steering link, so the PTO shaft maintains perfect alignment.

Faster dry down

Both the roll and flail conditioning systems — at an industry-leading 3.175m (125 inch) width (2.59m – 102in on the DC102)— provide a best-in-class conditioning-to-cut width ratio. The result is a thinner crop mat passing through the system for consistently thorough crop conditioning. This wider system also allows for wider swaths, so more crop is exposed to the sun for better natural dry down.
Easy access

New, durable plastic cutterbar bi-fold doors offer improved quality and reliability, while still maintaining easy access to the cutterbar and its components. The poly, bi-fold upper shielding is lighter, provides easier access and is more damage-resistant. It minimizes damage if a shield is inadvertently left open.

Greater durability

The all-new, cutterbar system has larger gears, bearings and interconnecting shafts for added durability. Plus the shock protection system protects the cutterbar from time-robbing, expensive field failures if an obstruction is encountered. The individual shock hub “takes the blow”, protecting the internal components of the cutterbar.

Conditioning

Harvest sooner with exceptional conditioning

Achieve optimum dry down time in all crop conditions with Case IH rotary disc mower conditioners, designed with consistent, thorough conditioning in mind. With an effective torsion-bar roll-pressure design, the Case IH conditioning system applies equal force to the upper conditioning roll arms for uniform conditioning, regardless of crop thickness. Achieve a new level of conditioning performance with the user-friendly and simple “fine tenability” of Case IH conditioning systems.
