3.15.10 Conditioning: Finger-Type
The finger type conditioner is most commonly used to harvest grass crops. The finger type rotor moves the crop
across the conditioning baffle which strips away the waxy coating from the plants.
The degree to which the crop is conditioned as it passes through the conditioner is controlled by the clearance
between the finger and the internal intensity baffle and by the rotational speed of the fingers (refer to Changing
Finger Rotor S peed, page 92).
