In order to keep the energy content of the crop as high as possible, fast and gentle drying is required.
When mowing with a conditioner, you save one thing above all else: time. The tines or rollers integrated into the mower fold or crimp the crop and place a wide and loose forage carpet, the best prerequisites for a fast drying process.
The best silage quality
Using a conditioner facilitates the release of cell juice in the clamp. This results in faster pH value reduction. What this means is that the silage reaches a stable state more quickly.

"On high yield forage areas, especially whole crop forage farms, the use of a mower conditioner is definitely recommended because it shortens drying times and improves ensiling properties."

If you want to work without a conditioning effect, the tine-type conditioner and roller conditioner can be easily removed thanks to the optional quick-change kit. That is pure versatility.
"We have 1,800 ha of agricultural land, of which 1,450 ha are arable land and the rest is grassland. We operate three PÖTTINGER mower combinations with conditioners on our farm. We use roller conditioners for alfalfa and tine conditioners for grass. We particularly like the fact that we can switch the two conditioners between each mower. It is a very quick and easy system that only PÖTTINGER offer. That's a brilliant thing for a business like ours."
