Roller Conditioner Dries Hay Fast

Roller Conditioner Dries Hay Fast FERTILIZER APPLICATION Ag Shield Manufacturing says their Recon Conditioner is unlike anything on the market     “When you use a mower conditioner right after you cut the hay it creates a very limp stalk and branches ” says Darin Hubscher Ag Shield’s Sales Manager “Even though you condition it it goes limp and doesn’t let the air through the windrow ”     The Recon Conditioner doesn’t have a traditional pickup but uses spring-loaded steel-on-steel rollers to lift cut hay at speeds up to 10 mph It features a spiral roller design that creates a high-pressure sharp crimp on every other inch of forage material The spiral motion of the rollers also moves any rocks away from the machine or pushes them into the ground     Hubscher says that with the crimping action of the Recon Conditioner moisture escapes quickly and easily Even after 8 hrs it remains shaped and fluffy cutting drying time almost in half Rear poly deflectors controlled from the tractor cab divert hay from damp ground onto dry soil in either windrows or scattered swaths further improving dry times     “After 6 to 8 hrs the hay has completed its initial wilt and the heaviest moisture is gone It’s still fluffy and upright letting the air dry it naturally ” Hubscher says     The Recon Conditioner comes standard with deflectors and a Quick-Set Slider to allow roller clearance adjustment for optimal performance in varying crops It features a 115-hp clutch able to power through wads without slowing down or plugging Maintenance-free steel rollers never need replacing     Models include the 300 series pull behind machines and 400 series 3-pt hitch units 540 or 1 000 rpm capabilities are available Options include tandem axles and hydraulic rear tedders     Recon Conditioners are produced and manufactured in Benito Manitoba and are shipped throughout North America and as far away as Australia     The 300 and 400 models range in size from 7 to 9 ft and retail from approximately $30 818 to $36 225 Can plus S&H Tedder spreader options vary from $4 250 to $5 125 Can     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Darin Hubscher Ag Shield Manufacturing Ltd P O Box #9 170 Highway 83 N Benito Manitoba Canada R0L 0C0 ph 800-561-0132; sales@agshield com; www agshield com
