OverviewThe DISC HD 1500 T FS (BASE) is a trailed combined disc mower designed for high‑capacity forage harvesting with a combined working width of 14.55 m. Built for large‑scale operations, it integrates robust mechanical systems and hydraulic safety functions to maximise field productivity and tractor compatibility.
Key features- Robust support arms: Sturdy arms mounted to the frame with a pivoting central element for precise adjustment geometry and reliable folding kinematics into transport position.
- Hydraulic Collision Safety System (CSS): Hydraulically adjustable hitch height with shock absorber reduces hitch load during transport; on impact the system changes pressure to move cutter bars backward and upward.
- Electronic control: Coordinated electronic management of the front mower and the SILVERCUT DISC HD 1500 T system for synchronized operation.
- Central cutting height adjustment: Single hydraulic system adjusts the cutting height of all four cutter bars simultaneously for uniform mowing.
- Central lubrication: Lubrication system connected to all points requiring greasing after each pass, reducing maintenance time.
- Steered frame: Steering frame improves manoeuvrability at headlands and locks automatically for safe, high‑speed transport.
- Conditioner type & disc rotation: Finger steel conditioner (FS) with discs rotating in pairs for effective crop conditioning and swath formation.
