The Vermeer MC150 Mower Conditioner combines a 15 ft cutting width with an intermeshing steel roller conditioner to help produce a clean, consistent cut and support fast dry-down in hay and forage applications. This researched configuration features a drawbar with swivel gearbox, 1,000 rpm PTO operation, a Q3 cutter bar, hydraulic suspension, and a broad range of adjustment features for adapting to field and crop conditions. With 10 discs, 20 blades, a 1–8 in cut-height range, and a 62–112 in windrow width, the MC150 is designed for efficient mowing and conditioning across large-acreage operations.

Product Highlights

The MC150 provides a 15 ft cutting width and 15.3 ft working width for productive field coverage. Its intermeshing steel roller conditioner is the specified configuration for this product, helping process cut forage after mowing. A 4-band banded V-belt drives the conditioner, while the rollers operate at 740 rpm and measure 9.3 in in diameter.

The Q3 cutter bar uses 10 discs and 20 blades, with discs rotating at 2,700 rpm. Operators can set the cut height from 1 to 8 in, while the windrow width can be adjusted from 62 to 112 in. Hydraulic pitch control, hydraulic suspension with a nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system, and an 80 in mower swung-out offset support operational flexibility.

Cutting and Conditioning Performance

The cut-height range of 1–8 in allows adjustment for different field requirements. After cutting, the 118 in conditioner uses intermeshing steel rollers measuring 9.3 in in diameter. The roller speed is 740 rpm, and the resulting windrow can be set between 62 and 112 in wide.

The total weight is 7,000 lb, including the steel roller conditioner configuration, with a tongue weight of 1,700 lb. Standard highway lights are included, and the mower provides an 80 in swung-out offset.

Tractor Requirements and Compatibility

The Vermeer MC150 requires a tractor with a category II or III N drawbar hitch for the researched drawbar-swivel configuration. The tractor should provide a 1,000 rpm PTO and a recommended 105 hp (78.3 kW) PTO rating. Hydraulic operation requires two double-acting circuits, hydraulic pressure of 2,200 psi (151.7 bar), and hydraulic flow of 6 gpm (22.7 L/min).
