The Vermeer MC120 Mower Conditioner delivers a 12-ft cutting width with a rubber roller conditioner, a 1,000-rpm PTO, and a 2-point Quick Hitch with swivel gearbox. Designed for efficient forage cutting and conditioning, the MC120 combines a Q3 cutter bar, adjustable hydraulic suspension, toolless hydraulic pitch adjustment, and a wide range of windrow settings to help operators produce clean, consistent results across changing field conditions. This configuration is suited to tractors equipped with a compatible Category II or III N 2-point hitch and the required hydraulic circuits.

Product Overview

The Vermeer MC120 is a mower conditioner designed for high-capacity cutting and conditioning. Its 12-ft cutting width uses eight discs and 16 blades to cover a broad swath, while the conditioner spans 118 in and supports windrow widths from 48 to 112 in. The specified rubber roller conditioner option is intended for producers seeking a roller-conditioning configuration within the MC120 family.

A 2-point Quick Hitch with swivel gearbox supports tractor connection, while hydraulic suspension with adjustable down pressure helps the mower conditioner follow field contours. Toolless hydraulic pitch adjustment allows convenient adjustment during operation, and the Q3 cutter bar incorporates Quick-Clip blade retention and a Quick-Change shear ring for practical service access.

Cutting and Conditioning Performance

The MC120 uses a Q3 cutter bar with eight 23-in discs rotating at 2,700 rpm. The 16-blade cutting system supports a cut-height range of 1–8 in (2.5–20 cm), allowing the machine to be configured for different crop and field requirements. The conditioner operates at 740 rpm, with a 118-in (299.7-cm) conditioner width and 9.3-in (23.6-cm) roller diameter.

Windrow formation can be adjusted across a 48–112-in range. This provides flexibility when matching windrow size to crop volume, drying requirements, or the pickup width of downstream hay equipment.

Tractor Requirements

The MC120 requires a tractor with a Category II or III N 2-point hitch and a 1,000-rpm PTO. Vermeer recommends 90 hp (67.1 kW) of PTO horsepower. The tractor hydraulic system must provide two double-acting hydraulic circuits, hydraulic pressure of 1,900 psi (131 bar), and hydraulic flow of 6 gpm (22.7 L/min).
