Why use a conditioner?

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."

DI Alfred Pöllinger, HBLFA Raumberg Gumpenstein | Education and Research Institute in Austria

The right conditioner for every crop

The conditioner has the job of breaking up the waxy layer of the mown crop so that it dries more quickly and can be conserved earlier.

For the best working results, a conditioner must be chosen that suits the crop to be mown. For crop with high grass content, for example, the ED tine-type conditioner achieves good results. It hits the stalks in the crop. For especially leafy forage, the RC roller conditioner is recommended. This conditioner crimps the crop.
