The cutting width and performance of a self-propelled mower conditioner. A better, more efficient way to streamline high-volume mowing while reducing the time, fuel, costs, maintenance and manpower to get it done. Hydraulic cutterbar pitch control (0 to 6º) sets the cutting height (from 1.25" to 3"), helps eliminate streaking and allows operator to adjust for different crops and conditions without tools.Tremendous Mowing Capacityand Cutting Efficiency• Suspension system provides tremendous ground-hugging flotation, especially on terraces, ditches and banks.• Independent staggered cutterbars (2) overlap to ensure accurate and complete cutting action in the center. • Low tractor HP requirements – 85 hp (TM1200), 95 hp (TM1400)• Rugged, reinforced frame construction.

It cuts better. It runs lower to the ground. And it’s easy to get through gateways.” – CusToMer froM oKLAHoMAH “When I compare it to my old 9-ft. cutter, I’m cutting nearly 75% more acres per hour, using a third less fuel per acre. The staggered independent cutterbar concept does a great job cleaning fields, especially when I’m going across gummy, black dirt after a rain. And it folds up in seconds.” – CusToMer froM TexAsH Large 31 x 13.5 -15 tires provide excellent flotation.Maximum swath width is 87% of the cutting width*for quick, uniform dry down.Located at the front of the tongue, the gauge to control the nitrogen charged accumulator is easily adjustable for varying field and crop conditions.The “Big Swath” Trailed Mower Advantage *Swath width percentage depends on type and conditions of crop being cut.independenT, STAggered cuTTerBAr deSign Swing up cover design provides excellent access for routine service and maintenance.
