Front-mount hay conditioner 248 FPC

rear-mounttractor-mountedrubber

FPC: front or rear hitch for tractors with reverse-drive.

Description
The hydraulic transmission allows the GEMELLI mower-conditioner to adapt the cutting head to ground contours because the disc-carrying frames are fully articulated independently, enabling adaptation to bumps and hollows. The machine is attached to the tractor so the entire head remains free to follow the ground, assisted by relief springs that provide high sensitivity and a wide oscillation range. The relief springs can act selectively on individual frame joints, a feature essential for working on very wet soils.

Technical data

Hydraulic pumps
The discs and the conditioner are driven by a fully hydraulic transmission. Each disc is driven by a hydraulic motor fed by a pump stage exclusively dedicated to it.

Conditioner motors
The conditioner is driven by a pump stage supplying two hydraulic motors directly connected to the conditioner rollers.

Safety valves and pressure gauges
Each disc and the conditioner are equipped with a safety valve to eliminate the risk of damage in abnormal working conditions. Each valve is fitted with a pressure gauge indicating working load during forward motion. The set of gauges is positioned for clear operator visibility so tractor speed can be adjusted according to machine load.

Radiator
Oil temperature is maintained by a radiator and a fan controlled by an electronic unit that periodically reverses fan rotation to keep the radiator clean. The electronic unit also monitors oil level in the tank and signals the operator with a flashing light if the level falls below the safety threshold.

Conditioner with rubber rollers
Forage conditioning is obtained by passing material through a pair of rubber rollers adjustable in opening and crushing pressure.

Conditioner with polyurethane rollers
For stony or abrasive conditions, polyurethane conditioner rollers are available on request; this material offers greater tear and abrasion resistance than rubber. For heavy yields, an optional supplementary pump can be fitted with polyurethane rollers to increase conditioner rotation speed. The same system allows reducing motor speed and fuel consumption for medium or light yields while maintaining working speed.
