Discbine® PLUS Center-Pivot Disc Mower-Conditioners

REDEFINING THE DISC MOWER-CONDITIONER
You need equipment that improves your productivity to help you make hay when conditions are right and preserve valuable nutrients. You need a mower that cuts fast, close and clean and provides uniform conditioning. You also need innovative and durable solutions that protect your investment and give you more uptime. That’s exactly what a Discbine® PLUS offers. It’s built on a legacy of durability and innovation to deliver the dependability and productivity that only a genuine Discbine can provide. More than just bold styling, it’ll be an added PLUS for your haymaking operation, with features including cutterbar upgrades for the cleanest cut yet and improved swath control for even faster dry down. A disc mower-conditioner isn’t a genuine Discbine unless it’s built and backed by the best in the business: New Holland.

MOWMAX™ II PLUS DISC CUTTERBAR

A CUT ABOVE THE REST
Haymaking season is no time for delays. That’s why we pioneered our true modular disc cutterbar decades ago. From this original design through today, the legendary New Holland disc cutterbar has been known for strength, reliability, and easy service. The latest design, the ultra-reliable MowMax™ II PLUS disc cutterbar, is no exception. Its commercial-grade durability and high-capacity, clean-cutting design will save you time and money.

ROLL CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

WIDEDRY™ CONDITIONING SYSTEMS DRY HAY FAST
To adapt to crop types, changing conditions, and seasonality, you need an adaptable conditioning system that’s sized appropriately to the cutterbar. WideDry™ conditioning systems deliver. Unlike competitive machines with narrow conditioning systems and multiple pairs of co-rotating discs, WideDry means you get smooth crop flow from the cutterbar to the appropriately-sized conditioning system of your choice. Whether you choose the chevron intermeshing rubber or steel rolls, or the LeaningEdge™ flail tine conditioning system, you’ll find infinite adjustments and impressive uniformity that lead to faster dry down.

LEANINGEDGE™ FLAIL TINE CONDITIONING SYSTEM

GAIN AN EDGE IN GRASS CONDITIONING
Grass hay producers know that crushing and crimping fine-stem grass, like coastal grass, can be a real challenge. To promote fast drying, the LeaningEdge™ flail tine conditioning system pushes crop against an adjustable hood to scuff wax away. Crop receives even more scuffing action as the 20-degree tangent flail tines are angled rearward, creating more outward crop pressure against the hood.

WINDROW & SWATH CONTROL

FROM WIDE SWATHS TO NARROW WINDROWS
Fast drying requires crop to be evenly distributed over a wide swath. To help, the Discbine® PLUS Series provides enhanced swath control surfaces behind the conditioning system.

SERVICEABILITY

EASY ACCESS FOR SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
Cutting discs and drive components on every Discbine PLUS are easy to reach. Poly bifold upper shields are light, easy to lift, and impact-resistant to avoid denting by foreign objects. The driven-end access steel door is double-layered to resist denting, while the roll drive door on the opposite side is made from durable poly with a steel plate at the bottom for added protection. Material overlap keeps curtains in place without the need for clips or magnets.
