Use front hitch for maximum productivity

The F350M Front-Mounted Mower is used to maximize the potential of the 7R or 8R Tractor equipped with a front power take-off (PTO) and front hitch. This 1000-rpm mower can be combined with the following 1000 rpm mower to increase productivity:

• Twin rear-mounted mower

Unmatched productivity is gained with cutting widths up to 9.9 m (32.5 ft) in one pass along with a narrow transport width.

The A-frame adapter enables quick and easy installation of the F350M Front-Mounted Mower. The adapter attaches to the tractor’s front 3-point hitch and locks into the mating headstock that is part of the mower.

• Enables easy attaching/detaching of front-mounted mower

Down stop chains can be used for tractors without front-hitch position sensing. If tractor has front-hitch position sensing, stop chains are not recommended.

The 7R Tractors are equipped with position sensing that has the ability to establish front hitch set points from the CommandCenter™ controls. Position sensing will maintain the height of the hitch arms based on the set point.

• Front tractor hitch is not used to raise and lower the cutting platform.
• Uses single-acting selective control valve (SCV) to raise platform.
• Lift cylinder operation must be independent of the front hitch operation.

High-speed rotary disc cutterbar for cutting in tough conditions

Large farms, machinery rings and contractors need high quality output, and ease of serviceability.

• The cutterbars are fast mowing, with high quality work and reliable set-up.
• Each disc is protected against heavy shocks with a shear point located on the disc drive.
• All modules and intermediate gears are quickly and easily interchangeable.

To meet high quality output, the cutterbar is an oil-immersed, gear-driven cutting bed.

• All discs are offering an orbital cutting diameter of 440 mm (17.3 in.).
• With seven discs, the cutting width will be 3.1 m (10.2 ft). With eight discs, the cutting width will be 3.5 m (11.5 ft).
• Disc speeds are 2986 rpm.

To meet serviceability, the cutting bed is lubricated for life:

• No oil changes necessary.
• Discs are fitted with quick change knives technology.
• Cutting height is from 35 to 85 mm (1.4 to 3.3 in.).

Time needed to change a knife is below 15 seconds. It is an efficient way to gain up to 30 minutes of maintenance time on the mower conditioners.
