Vermeer MC120 Mower Conditioner – 12 ft Cut, Rubber Roll, 1000 RPM, Drawbar Swivel [MC1652831]

The Vermeer MC120 Mower Conditioner – 12 ft Cut, Rubber Roll, 1,000 RPM, Drawbar Swivel is built for hay and forage operations that need a clean, consistent cut and efficient crop conditioning across a wide working area. Its 12 ft (3.7 m) cutting width, Q3 cutter bar, rubber roller conditioner, hydraulic pitch control, and nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system support productive field operation and fast dry-down. With a drawbar and swivel gearbox configuration, the MC120 is suited to tractors equipped for the required PTO, hydraulic, and hitch connections.

Efficient Cutting and Conditioning

The MC120 combines an eight-disc Q3 cutter bar with 16 blades and 23 in (58.4 cm) discs operating at 2,700 rpm. The cut-height range from 1–8 in (2.5–20 cm) provides adjustment for differing crop and field conditions. A 118 in (299.7 cm) conditioner uses 9.3 in (23.6 cm) rollers operating at 740 rpm. This product record specifies the rubber roller conditioner option, providing a dedicated configuration for hay and forage work.

Hydraulic pitch control helps adjust the machine for field conditions, while the nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system supports cutter-bar suspension during operation. The quick-clip blade retention system and quick-change shear ring are designed to simplify service and maintenance. A four-band banded V-belt conditioner drive, standard highway lights, a platform for tall crops, and a topping high-cut kit add practical capability for daily operation and transport.
