Cutting and Conditioning Performance

The MC120 combines a Q3 cutter bar with eight 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 conditions. Behind the cutter bar, the 118-in (299.7 cm) conditioner uses 9.3-in (23.6 cm) intermeshing steel rollers operating at 740 rpm. The roller conditioner is intended to process cut forage before it is placed into a windrow.

The windrow width can be adjusted from 48–112 in (121.9–284.5 cm). Hydraulic suspension and the nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system help support the mower conditioner during field operation, while the toolless hydraulic pitch control provides hydraulic adjustment of the machine’s pitch without requiring tools.
