• Delivers a combination crimp/crush action while being more gentle to plant leaves

• A combination of the wide rolls (129”) which promotes a thin material mat and the roll profile (crush type) is ideally suited to such crops as alfalfa, alfalfa/grass mix

• Also effective for finer stemmed plants which usually have more solid stems like native hay, timothy and bermuda grass

• A crimp style is especially effective for stiff or solid plant stem material

• Produces well-formed windrows over a wide range of widths

• For high volume crops where aggressive feeding through header is an advantage, such as milo, sudan grass, and oats

• In smooth stemmed crops like timothy, the steel bars provide positive crop flow from cutterbar to the windrow

• For alfalfa producers, the steel inter-meshing roll action assists plant dry down by creating uniform crimps on the plant stem, without bruising the delicate leaves

• Able to provide consistent conditioning through uneven crop volumes

• In areas where crops and or conditions are considered to be abrasive

• Extremely durable requires minimal maintenance

Conditioner Action

• Wipes stem wax from plant stems

• Crops and conditions where removal of stem waxes combined with fluffier windrows are able to achieve desired dry down times such as Coastal Grass and other mixed forages

• Requires the least amount of horsepower of the conditioner types
