Description
The Vermeer MC105 Mower Conditioner combines a 10.5 ft (3.2 m) cutting width with an intermeshing steel roller conditioner for efficient forage cutting and conditioning in hay and forage operations. This product configuration features a drawbar with swivel gearbox, a 540-rpm PTO drive, and a recommended tractor PTO rating of 75 hp (55.9 kW). With a Q3 cutter bar, seven discs, 14 blades, hydraulic pitch control, and a wide range of cut-height and windrow settings, the MC105 is designed for dependable field performance and flexible crop handling.
Efficient Cutting and Conditioning
The MC105 uses a Q3 cutter bar with seven 23 in (58.4 cm) discs and 14 blades. The discs operate at 2,700 rpm, while the selected intermeshing steel roller conditioner operates at 740 rpm. The 102 in (259.1 cm) conditioner width and adjustable 40–95 in (101.6–241.3 cm) windrow width provide flexibility when setting up crop flow for different field conditions and forage requirements.
Cut height is adjustable from 1–8 in (2.5–20 cm). A hydraulic pitch control system supports convenient adjustment during operation, while the nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system is included as part of the machine’s field equipment. The standard platform for tall crops and standard topping high-cut kit add further capability for crop-management applications supported by the MC105 design.
