You get a choice of conditioners as well. In the following
pages you’ll learn about impeller conditioning and different
types of roll conditioning. There are different hitch
configurations, plus there are proven sicklebar mowers
that may meet your needs.
With all those choices you still get just one result. Fast,
clean cutting that helps you get the most from your hay

Pull-type models
Ready. Set. Go!
When your hay is ready, and the forecast looks good, you want cutting done fast.
Well you are in luck, because John Deere Rotary Mower-Conditioners let you zip
through even tough cutting conditions.

The speed is yours for several reasons. Rotary discs, with a tip speed of 191 miles
per hour (307.4 kph), zip through crop. The rugged cutterbar, and easy-to-adjust
suspension system, lets you hug field contours, and move over rocks, and through
softer obstructions like ant hills or varmint mounds.

Speed also comes from fast maintenance and easy adjustments to the cutterbar
angle, the conditioning level, and windrow forming shields. No matter the crop
conditions, or the field obstructions, John Deere Rotary MoCos get you cutting fast.

New Developments
Speed Dry Down
Want to get the fastest dry down in heavy crops and
conditions? Consider going with V10 Steel Conditioning Rolls.
Proven on the larger 900 Series MoCos, these heavy-duty rolls
are now available on 600 and 800 Series machines. V10 rolls
improve conditioning and help keep crop flowing, especially
when cutting heavy thick-stemmed crops. There’s also a new
Wide Swath Kit that you can add to your 600 and 800 Series
MoCos. This kit helps create a windrow that is fluffier and up
to 25 percent wider — cutting down dry-down time and
reducing or eliminating the need to ted.

Fast cutting. Quick repairs.

To the right you see a bird’s eye view of the John Deere
rotary cutterbar. It’s a cutterbar like no other —
designed for cutting speed when things are going well,
and equally important, designed for fast repairs when a
rock or a fence post “jump” into your path.
It may look like one solid unit, but this patented
cutterbar is made of individual modules that are easy
to remove from the machine. (See artwork below.)
Damage that would completely ruin
some cutterbars is an easy repair on a
John Deere. Plus, the patented shear
hub, protects the cutterbar gears from
obstructions. Instead of calling for
dealer service, you simply replace an
Close-up of inexpensive hub. You can be cutting
shear hub
again in a matter of minutes.
This system’s quality of cut is also impressive. Notice how
the oval discs overlap as they turn limiting misses or
“streaks”. Plus, the low profile of the cutterbar helps get
more of your crop, especially in down or tangled forage.

1. Replaceable wear caps protect knife hardware. They have an open
end so debris can’t pack in tight around the nut. Hardware and
knife changes are easier and faster.
2. Both idler and drive gears run in oil — cool and quiet. Because of
gear strength and smart design, cutterbars on the 600 and 800
Series MoCos are backed by an exclusive 3-year warranty.
3. The patented modules have diagonal cut ends, so individual
modules can be easily removed in case of severe post damage.
These modules are made of nodular iron, 85 percent stronger than
the “gray iron” found on many other rotary machines. Plus, nodular
iron can take dents, compared to gray iron which is more likely to
crack on impact.
4. The thin profile of the each module lets you cut low with a flatter
cutterbar angle. This flatter angle reduces wear on components
and limits the chance of damage in rocky fields.
5. Gears on each disc are protected by a patented John Deere shear
hub. Instead of damaged gears and a huge repair bill, you can
replace the inexpensive hub in a matter of minutes.

ROLL CONDITIONING
1. Urethane rolls are a John Deere exclusive. The
“cold molding” urethane process keeps rolls arrow

cleats add to conditioning action. Roll spacing and

and with thick-stemmed and tall cane-type crops.

2. Tri-Lobe™ steel rolls stand up to tough crops

and abrasive soils. They crush crop stems making V-10 steel rolls 3
these rolls popular with alfalfa, as well as sudan
or sudex growers. The chevron design improves
crop flow compared to competitive smooth
crusher rolls. Available on 900 Series only.

3. V-10 steel rolls offer deep crimping action

for thick crop mats. The aggressive flutes and
chevron pattern keep crop flowing, even
in tall cane-like crops. The rolls stand up
to tough crops and abrasive soils.

 Triple Mounted Mower-Conditioner
Cut up to 40 acres. Each hour!
You might call it a windrower on steroids. Or call it the best way to utilize a high-
horsepower tractor during silage season. It’s the John Deere Triple Mounted Mower-
Conditioner. You start with a tractor with at least 190 horsepower and a front hitch
with PTO. Put a 131 Front Mounted MoCo upfront. Then add a 338 Twin Rear-Mounted
MoCo on the back. Suddenly your tractor is cutting up to 28 feet 8 inches (8.74 m) with
each pass. Rotary disc cutterbars mean you’ll cut fast and clean. And impeller
conditioning means fast crop flow, and fast dry down. Build three windrows, or follow
with a rake or merger to maximize forage harvester performance.

 Mower-Conditioners and Mowers Triple Mounted Mower-Conditioner
Cut 28. Transport 10.
While you can cut wide with the Triple-
Mounted MoCo — 28 ft. 8 in. (8.74 m)
wide to be precise, you transport narrow—
just over 10-feet (3.05 m) narrow. The
rear-mounted mower-conditioners fold up
without leaving the cab, making transport
between hay fields fast and easy.
14
With your tractor as the drive unit, you benefit from a comfortable
operator station and great control. You can change cutterbar flotation
and the cutterbar angle, without leaving the tractor seat. Plus you can
enjoy the significant performance benefits of John Deere guidance.
If your tractor has AutoTrac,™ you can cut fast, fully using this MoCo’s
cutting width, with minimum operator stress and fatigue.
Since the Triple Mounted MoCo uses three cutterbars, instead of one,
you also get cleaner, closer cutting on irregular terrain. Each of the
three MoCos is free to independently follow contours. And with
hydraulic float, they are easy to set.

 Disc Mowers
Fast cutting. No conditioning.
Don’t need your hay conditioned? Then zip through hay fields with a John Deere Rotary Disc
Mower. Choose from five models — 4 to 8 discs wide. All five give you fast, clean cutting
thanks to a low-profile cutterbar with discs that spin at 2986 rpm.

You are ready for a variety of field conditions. These mowers can cut +/- 35 degrees to
horizontal, so mowing ditches or sloping fields are no problem. Easy-to-adjust float springs
and protective skid shoes let the cutter float along ground contours and over rocks.
And the rugged discs and free swinging knives can rip through ant hills and gopher mounds.

 Mower-Conditioners and Mowers Disc Mowers

Fast in the field. And through the gate.

New John Deere R Series Mowers are designed with speed in mind. Hook up is easy –
a Quik-Coupler is available on the three larger models. Transport is fast and easy, too, with the
with the optional hydraulic tilt cylinder. Simply engage the tractor hydraulics and the cutterbar
swings up and locks into place.
These new disc mowers provide greater reliability – and peace of mind. The multi V-belt drive
can absorb sudden shock loads, plus the drive line is protected by a slip clutch (standard
equipment). The cutterbar drive shaft is also shear-bolt protected, reducing the chance of
damage to the drive shaft. And power is transmitted between the rotary discs via gears running
in oil. If you should catch a fence post or other immovable obstruction, the cutterbar has a
breakaway latch that lets the mower swing back to limit damage.
The R Series is designed for fast repairs. If a disc is damaged, the affected quill assembly (see
photo next page) can be removed and replaced. Disc knives are reversible for double the cutting
life. The entire cutterbar is enclosed by a heavy protective curtain to limit flying objects. The
front section hinges up and automatically locks in the raised position for easy access to the
cutterbar area for maintenance or inspection.
In addition to offering these new John Deere R Series Disc Mowers, your John Deere dealer
also offers a new line of Frontier-branded 50 Series Disc Mowers – providing excellent cutting
performance at a budget-friendly price. Please take a closer look at page 20. Better yet, visit
your John Deere dealer.

These mowers fold up for transport right from the seat. Your tractor hydraulics do all the work.
