Description
The Vermeer MC150 Mower Conditioner is a 15-ft hay and forage machine designed to mow, condition, and form windrows in a single field pass. This specified MC150 configuration combines a rubber roller conditioner, 1,000-rpm PTO drive, and drawbar with swivel gearbox hitch arrangement. Its Q3 cutter bar uses 10 discs and 20 blades, while hydraulic pitch control, a broad cut-height range, and standard tall-crop and high-cut equipment support adaptable operation across varied forage conditions. The MC150 is intended for tractors equipped with a 1,000-rpm PTO, suitable drawbar and swivel gearbox arrangement, and two double-acting hydraulic circuits.
Efficient Mowing and Conditioning
With a 15-ft cutting width and 15.3-ft working width, the Vermeer MC150 is built for productive haymaking. The Q3 cutter bar is fitted with 10 discs and 20 blades, with a disc speed of 2,700 rpm to support consistent crop cutting. Hydraulic pitch control helps adjust the machine for field conditions, while the 1–8-in cut-height range provides flexibility for different cutting requirements.
The supplied variant includes a rubber roller conditioner. The 118-in conditioner uses 9.3-in rollers rotating at 740 rpm to process cut material before it is placed into a windrow. The windrow width can be adjusted across a 62–112-in range, allowing the output to be suited to crop volume, drying conditions, and subsequent harvesting operations.
