All modules are inter-changeable as well. The diagonal-cut profile makes alignment easy; reattach the bolts and you re done!6 Conditioning SystemsMore and more growers are turning to proven john Deere con-ditioning systems to boost overall forage quality. john Deere condition-ing systems can significantly reduce drying time and quick, simple adjust-ments make it easy to match con-ditioning levels to field conditions. Steel tines on the john Deere impeller conditioner gently rub the crop together to remove the waxy layer. Each robust tine swings freely to reduce the potential for damage from stones and other solid objects.

6 And john Deere impellers are individually balanced to eliminate vibration. Top conditioning in all Steel impeller tines are significantly stronger than plastic tines, giving you better crop pickup and faster field speeds. The steel V-shaped tines work like fingers, picking the crop up and moving it through the machine. The crop rubs together and against the conditioning hood. This removes the stem s waxy layer, allowing moisture to escape. Leaves and stubble remain intact to protect distance between tine tips and conditioning hood can be adjusted without tools for changing conditioning large john Deere steel impeller has a high moment of inertia for low power consumption and higher throughput. Kinetic energy works as a torque reserve for thicker crop areas, allowing the use of low power john Deere advantage conditioning Steel tine impellers are stronger than plastic tines Impellers are individually balanced for longer life High inertia of impeller reduces power and fuel consumption Crops dry faster for faster harvests and better quality forage More tasty forage means: Better Milk and Beef Yields7 Conditioning john Deere conditioning rolls for optimum conditioning in tender crops like alfalfa or thick clovers.

7 The rolls thoroughly crimp the crop and preserve its leaves and dries quickly and evenly thanks to even crimping.
