Crop Convergence System

The mower-conditioner utilizes a crop convergence system with open-style converging end drums. This system improves crop flow into the conditioner, minimizing recutting and clump formation. The design results in better mat consistency for conditioning and even windrow formation for more efficient harvesting.
