Cutting and Conditioning Performance
The MC90 combines a Q3 cutter bar with six discs rotating at 2,700 rpm. The 12-blade cutting system operates across a 9-ft cutting width, while the 83-in (210.8 cm) conditioner uses intermeshing steel rollers turning at 740 rpm. The steel roller configuration is the specified version for this product and is listed at a total machine weight of 4,800 lb (2,177.2 kg).
The conditioner produces a configurable windrow between 36 and 82 in (91.4 and 208.3 cm). Cut height is adjustable from 1–8 in (2.5–20 cm), allowing the MC90 to be set for the required mowing conditions and crop clearance.
