Mower Conditioners
All John Deere Mower-Conditioners feature a unique low profile cutterbar design providing excellent cutting and conditioning performance, and reduced maintenance requirements. Using a rotary disk design operators can cut at high ground speeds, through tough tangled crops and still achieve a clean cut. Furthermore the proven John Deere conditioning systems promote high quality forage and achieve faster dry down.Documentation
Front Mounted Mower Conditioners
Front-Mounted Mower Conditioners are the perfect machines to cut in small spaces or odd shaped fields. Their excellent manoeuvrability makes them easy to operate and their front mounted design eliminates the need to drive over standing crop - even at the beginning of fields. The trapezium suspension allows the mower conditioner to float over uneven ground contours. Suspension springs on the 228A maintain constant down pressure on the cutting bed. Should you hit an obstacle the model pivots, lifting the cutterbar over the obstruction and returns it to the previous cutting height. The 131 front-mounted model features hydropneumatic suspension for even more responsive and reliable flotation. The machine automatically lifts up to follow contours or compensate for soft ground, letting you work at faster field speeds with confidence. The 131 lets you cut 3.1m - but the shields fold in to allow a transport width less than 3m. Add a 131 or 228A front-mounted to your rear-mounted or trailed MoCo, and double your productivity.

Rear Mounted Mower Conditioners
Designed for individual farmers, the John Deere rear-mounted MoCos are easy to adjust and use. The 324A, 328A and 331 have a cutting width of 2.4m, 2.8m and 3.1m respectively. In addition to providing fluffy windrows, John Deere conditioners provide optimal drying speed for an excellent quality crop. All machines feature a low-profile cutterbar, "V" shaped free swinging steel tynes and conditioning impeller. A twin-cylinder hydraulic design harnesses this extra width, offering easier transport and improved headland turns. A wide-spreading kit is available to spread crop to the left-hand side. The mower conditioner frame folds back horizontally behind the tractor and locks into place for transport less than 2.5m wide on all models. Once in transport mode, the cutterbar and conditioner automatically lock into place. Hydraulic controls let you pull into a field, drop the mower conditioner into cutting position, and start cutting — all without leaving the cab.

Side-Pull Mower Conditioners
The 500 and 600 series Rotary Disk Mower Conditioners are designed to cut and condition hay in tough field conditions such as wet, tangled hay and fields with ant hills. The Rotary Disk Mower Conditioners have several advantages over sickle bar machines, including reduced chance of plugging in tough cutting conditions, reduced daily maintenance requirements, along with increased operating speeds. The 500 and 600 series feature the proven modular cutterbar made of high strength nodular-iron for extra strength and outstanding cutting quality. The suspension is an advanced design, allowing high working speeds while maintaining an excellent cut quality. Long adjustable springs ensure a constant ground pressure and also fast and soft return to position in case of striking an obstacle. The wide and large tyres reduce soil compacting for less stubble damage and faster grass re-growth. In addition, a wide range of options and attachments are available to fulfil the most specific needs: windrow grouper, wide spread kit and the John Deere exclusive hydraulic tilt angle adjustment. For years, top growers have depended on John Deere 1365 and 1465 mower conditioners to lay down perfect windrows for baling and chopping. An electric cylinder lets you switch from one side to the other from the cab to lay two windrows within 3.2m ideal for the John Deere 640C pickup on your forage harvester. You can also choose to spread the crop with the optional swathboard which spreads the crop on the machine conditioner width. The highly efficient swivel hitch offers a very short turning angle and horizontal oscillation, providing the best manoeuvrability.
