ELHO Duett 7300 The ELHO Duett 7300 is a mower conditio-ner for large areas that utilises the properties of the self-propelled harvester in a tractor–mower conditioner combination. It is designed for tractors with reverse drive equipment. The mowing unit consists of two 3.7m cutting bars, which are automatically connected when the wings are lowered. As the cutting bars connect to each other, one wide mowing unit is formed.

www.elho.fi 7

Thanks to the HydroBalance suspension system, the driving speed can be fast, and the forage stays clean and dries quickly. In addition, maintaining a straight driving line with the reverse drive machine combination is easier compared to other systems. The tractor has space between the swaths, as the swaths are formed in pairs. The spacing of the swaths is always constant, even in curves. When swathing, the tractor always finds a suitably wide passage and a double swath can be combined on the dry area. The swaths made by ELHO mower conditioners

have proved to be good-shaped and they dry quickly. Switching from work position to transport position is quick because lifting or lowering the wings is enough. The side guards are equipped with swing cylinders, which make mowing easier. The Duett 7300 is equipped with low, oval mowing discs that can even cut the grass that´s fallen in the driving direction. Do it - buy the ELHO Duett 7300 mower conditioner and take advantage of the properties of a self-propelled harvester in your tractor-mower conditioner combination.

The ELHO Duett 7300 is specially developed for tractors with Reverse Drive. This way of mowing gives an excellent view of the machine. Comfort and control are also excellent and the combination mowes smoothly and efficiently when the steering wheels are at the rear.

ELHO Arrow 3200 FrontFinally, a front mower conditioner with all the benefits of a trailed mower conditioner!

This machine has excellent performance, driving features, and the PCS (Pendulum Centre System) suspension developed by ELHO. The stable framework of the machine allows the cutting bar to follow the surface of the field freely and to avoid obstacles – a front mower conditioner simply cannot operate better than this. In combination with a mounted Arrow NM 3200 or a trailed Arrow 3200 even the large fields feels smaller.

The ELHO Arrow Front mower conditioners has HydroBalance suspension and PCS three-point mounting of the cutting unit. The PCS-system gives the cutting unit possibility to move more freely and more easily avoid obstacles.

www.elho.fi 9

This full-width front mower conditioner is also equipped with the PCS suspension, and it can also easily be changed to be used with a reverse drive tractor. Thanks to the PCS suspension, the shredder unit avoids obstacles, the high mobility dampens the impact on the cutting bar with up to 50% compared to the traditional system. The full 3.7m working width makes the machine the most effective front mower conditioner on the market. Compared to other three-metre shredders on the market, mowing requires 23% fewer mowing-kilometres. Correspondingly, harvesting the swaths saves both time and fuel. There are only advantages with a wide front mower.

ELHO Arrow 3700 Front

Both the ELHO 3200 and 3700 Front mower conditioners are suitable for use with a reverse drive tractor. Their driving comfort and performance are excellent.

Arrow 3200 is ELHO’s progressive, trailed mower conditioner that combines ELHO’s reliable basic solutions and excellent driving comfort with new technology.

The shredder rotor has straight, rounded swinging flails and a spring-loaded counter bar. With this solution, drying has proved to be the fastest. The large, adjustable back plate of the very spacious conditioning chamber brakes and turns the forage flow downwards in such way that the swath becomes as high as possible, and an even and, fluffy swath is formed, that dries quickly.The small extra wings of the top middle part of the conditioning chamber enable adjustment to optimise the form of the swath, which is especially important during the second and third harvest. An even and clean swath is a basic requirement for high-quality silage. The oval low-profile discs and optimally shaped stone guards ensure a neat and clean cutting result. The Arrow 3200 includes the HydroBalance sus-pension system developed by ELHO, where the pressure of nitrogen gas is used to lighten the cutting bar directly above the cutting point. Thus, the softly shaped guards under the mowing discs follow the surface of the field

lightly and the forage stays clean. Adjusting the HydroBalance suspension is now really easy. The desired basic suspension setting is set with the hand wheel underneath the pressure indicator. The normative suspension range can be seen on the frame of the pressure indicator. For example, in an area where rocks may be encountered, the suspension can be lightened using the tractor’s hydraulics while mowing. The height adjustment of the stubble height is done comfortably on top of the machine on one side. The wide and high shredder chamber also enables wide-spread without additional equipment. The new, V-shaped portal frame allows placing the turning point of the draw bar at an optimal location regarding power transmission, and power transmits evenly to the cutting bar and the conditioning rotor. The end damping of the draw bar cylinder enables quick turning movements on headland, when the machine is moved to cut on the other side. Thanks to the folding

draw bar, the machine can fit in a small space to be stored for the winter. The front guards open easily for inspection and maintenance. The high portal frame provides great flexibility for the mowing unit. Thus, the cutting bar has a large clearance on the headlands, and the machine does not mix even the highest swaths. The length of the draw bar is optimised in order to get the mowing unit closer to the tractor. The draw bar in all Arrow trailed machines is manufactured of rigid profiles, not from tubes. The power transmission shafts and the bearings have been designed with easy lubrication and inspection in mind. The trailed Arrow 3200 mower conditioner has 380/55-17 low-profile tyres as a standard.

The cutting discs can be locked using an attached tool so that the knife

change is easy and safe.

ELHO RollerIn the large ELHO mower conditioner range there is also mounted, front and trailed roller mower conditioners. The profiled and spring mounted rollers are especially suitable for cutting leafy forage such as clover and alfalfa. Thanks to the synchronized power transmission the rollers do not touch one another and do not damage the sensitive plant parts. All ELHO Roller mower conditioners have the adjustable Hydro Balance suspension system as standard. Standard on the mounted models are also the HydroActive impact protection. Roller mower conditioners are common in southern Europe and their use is also increasing in the northern parts as the cultivation of more leafy and harvest sensitive forage plants increases.

The mounted mower conditioners HydroBalance and Hydro Active systemsThe cutting units lift cylinder 1 has two functions: 1 lifting the unit and 2 the Hydro Balance suspension. When the impact cylinder 3 is pressed in hitting an obstacle the mower unit moves backwards and fleeing oil goes to the lift cylinder 1, the mowing unit mowes backwards and is lifted automatically and at the same time. When the obstacle is gone the mower unit will automatically return to mowing position.

The lubrication unit (1) ensures that transmission chains to the power distribution gear (2) are kept lubricated. The encapsulated and synchronized power distribution to the rollers have large and heavy gear wheels. The power distribution gear has its own lubrication (3). Compression strength between the spring-loaded rollers can be adjusted (4).
