INTRODUCTION
The disc mower-conditioners use an 8-disc,
counter-rotating disc cutter bar to provide a 10 ft 4 in.
cutting width.
All eight discs are counter-rotating. The outer two
discs are each equipped with an open feed drum to
help feed crop into the conditioner rolls. The cutter
bar is driven at one end through a drive shaft
connected to the #1 disc (numbered from left to right,
as viewed from the rear).

The disc cutter bar is based on a true modular design.
Gearbox modules, 1, are connected by independent,
hardened alloy steel drive shafts, 3, running through
spacer modules, 2, and the entire cutter bar is
assembled using high strength tie bolts, 4, to clamp
the disc modules between the spacers. In the
unlikely event of catastrophic failure, damage is
contained to one module, which can be easily
replaced without disturbing other modules.
