❑ The rear mounted disc mower is intended to mow green fodder: grass, alfalfa and such on
permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to form loose rows of cut fodder.
The pasture or field being mown should be even, best if prepared by rolling. In the event of a
majority of tall grass the first and second mowing should be done at a height of 6 - 7 cm (2.4" -
2.8"), while with a majority of short grasses at a height of 5 cm (2"). The last mowing should be
done a little higher - at 7 - 8 cm (2.8" - 3.1" ) from the ground.
❑ The rear mounted disc mower with conditioner /rollers is intended to mow green fodder: grass,
alfalfa and such on permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to form loose
rows of cut fodder. As a result of the passing of the layers of the green fodder through the flails or
rollers the grass stems are broken and a layer of wax is removed. This facilitates and speeds up
the drying process of the fodder by approximately 30 to 40%. The use of rollers is especially
recommended when mowing legumes such as alfalfa. Rollers are particularly recommended for
mowing grass legume such as alfalfa. The pasture or field being mown should be even, best if
prepared by rolling. This is especially true of mowers with rollers as they tolerate rocks with a
diameter of a few centimetres. If a larger stone is picked up stop and remove it as it could cause
damage of the discs. With a majority of tall grasses the first and second mowing should be done
at a height of 6 - 7 cm (2.4" - 2.8"), while with a majority of short grasses at a height of 5 cm (2").
The last mowing should be done a little higher - at 7 - 8 cm (2.8" - 3.1") from the ground.
