  • Page 18: Tine Conditioner

    TINE CONDITIONER Mode of operation The aim of conditioning is to ream the wax layer (protection layer) on the blade of grass. Consequently, the fodder looses moisture more easily and dries more quickly. Conditioning is carried out using V-shaped tines, placed in a spiral on the conditioner shaft.

    ROLLER CONDITIONER Safety advice Safety information Before initial operation, read and observe the operating instructions, particularly the safety information. Warning! Rotating components; danger of being pulled in. Never unlock or remove protection devices when motor is running. Operation mode The roller conditioner is suitable for lucerne and clover types. Two power-driven interlocking rollers crush the fodder. In so doing, the plant’s natural wax coating is damaged and the drying time is accelerated.

    ROLLER CONDITIONER Operation Remove cutter bar widening 1. Remove screws (1). The number of screws varies Driving speed: according to cutter bar length. Adapt the speed to fodder consistency. Travelling too fast reduces conditioning quality and evenness. Working without roller conditioning: If required the roller conditioner can also be removed and replaced with a tine conditioner or swath former.
