The EXTRA DRY conditioner is a joint development with the Institute of Agricultural Engineering (IMAG-DLO) in Wageningen (Holland) that started in 1997 to prove there is better way.
V-shaped tines made of hardened steel hit the stalks in the crop and guarantee a continuous flow of forage.
You can flexibly adjust the conditioning intensity by changing the gap between the tines and the counter flap.
The round, high volume conditioner hood and the adjustable guide vanes enable a loose and airy blanket to be placed.
Adjustable swath doors can be used either for a wide spread blanket or to form a swath, depending on individual requirements.
The tines are mounted on rubber blocks that are designed to flex, enabling them to fold back if they collide with obstacles.
Depending on the model, power is transmitted from the cutter bar gearbox to the rotor by a powerband or V-belts with a spring-loaded belt tensioner. This guarantees low weight and a smooth-running drive system.
The greasing point is located externally for easy access.
Thanks to the optional quick-change kit both the tine-type and roller conditioners can be removed in a short time.
You can switch between the tine and roller conditioner in just a few steps, or install a guard curtain:
Take off the V-belt
Fit the conditioner trolley
Undo the conditioner fastenings
Remove the conditioner
Fit guard curtain / alternative conditioner
