2. OverviewR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales ToolNO MOW LIMITATIONS!Don’t be limited by transport width. In just 30 seconds our Road Friendly Transport option, transforms both our 13 and 16 foot R1’s to a narrow 9 foot wide transport. This allows for quick, safe travel to, from, and between fields. The all new forward mounted cutterbar design provides a cleaner, smoother cut than ever before, and it’s backed by a 3 Year Cutterbar Warranty. No matter what the harvest situation or conditioning need, the R1 lays down well-formed, well-conditioned windrows with the industry’s widest roll at 129” (328cm), and four interchangeable conditioning options. Don’t limit your harvesting possibilities, find out why more top producers trust MacDon for their harvest.

3. Product Highlights R1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales ToolSizeAvailable in 13’ (4m) and 16’ (4.9m) models.9’ Wide Road Friendly Transport (Optional)Road Friendly Transport option is available on both models. This dealer installed option transforms the R1 to a road friendly 9’ (2.75m) wide transport. Switch from field to transport in 30 seconds, for quick, safe travel to, from, and between fields. Moving from a 10 to 16 foot mower can increase productivity by 60%, making this option ideal for operations where width restrictions are the limiting factor.Clean Cut & 3 Year Cutterbar WarrantyOur low profile forward mounted cutting discs provide a flat header angle resulting in a cleaner, smoother cut than ever before. And this new design is backed by MacDon’s 3 Year Cutterbar Warranty. That’s our way of ensuring worry-free harvesting performance.

4. Product Highlights R1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales ToolSerious ConditioningFeaturing the industry’s widest conditioning roll at 129” (328cm), and 4 interchangeable conditioning options. Choose from Steel Inter-Meshing, Polyurethane Inter-Meshing, Finger Conditioner, or No Conditioner option. The R1 lays down well-formed, well-conditioned wide to narrow windrows to suit a variety of conditioning needs.Unique Responsive FloatUsing minimal ground pressure, our Responsive Float System moves the R1 “Up and Back”, as it encounters bumps in the field. This unique movement results in true, even ground following and helps ensure a clean, smooth cut.Low Horse Power RequirementsRequires only 100hp for 13’ and 125hp for 16’ model. 1000 PTO 1.375” (35mm) / 21 spline or 1.75” (45mm) / 20 spline. Less horse power means less fuel consumption.

Cutting discs13’ has 8 cutting discs,16’ has 10 cutting discsForward mounted cutting discs BENEFIT:Flatter angle allows for a clean smooth cutDrive to spindles via large idler gears BENEFITS:Each spindle only carries its own loadLarge idler gears are slow turningIncreased spindle and idler gear contact reduces stress on teethCutterbarR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales ToolSpindlesIdler GearsCutting Discs

8. Shear PinCutting discsShear pin on each cutting disc spindleSpindle moves up out of path when pin is sheared BENEFIT:A shear pin protects each cutting disc assembly by moving the disc up and away from adjacent discs, helping reduce damage to those discs Quick in-field repairsHeavy duty tapered roller bearings BENEFIT:Higher load carrying capabilityCan withstand thrust loadsCutterbarR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales ToolSpindles

11. Conditioners 4 Interchangeable Conditioning SystemsConditioner ActionA crimp style is especially effective for stiff or solid plant stem material Produces well formed windrows over a wide range of widthsApplication For high volume crops where aggressive feeding through header is an advantage, such as milo, sudan grass and oatsIn smooth stemmed crops like timothy, the steel bars provide positive crop flow from cutterbar to the windrowFor alfalfa producers the steel inter-meshing roll action assists plant dry down by creating uniform crimps on the plant stem, without bruising the delicate leavesAble to provide consistent conditioning through uneven crop volumesIn areas where crops and or conditions are considered to be abrasive Extremely durable, requires minimal maintenanceR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales Tool1. Steel Rolls (Inter-Meshing)

12. Conditioners 4 Interchangeable Conditioning SystemsConditioner ActionDelivers a combination crimp/crush action while being more gentle to plant leavesApplication A combination of the wide rolls (129”) which promotes a thin material mat and the roll profile (crush type) is ideally suited to such crops as alfalfa, alfalfa/grass mixAlso effective for finer stemmed plants which usually have more solid stems like native hay, timothy and bermuda grassR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales Tool2. Polyurethane Rolls (Inter-Meshing)

13. Conditioners 4 Interchangeable Conditioning SystemsConditioner ActionWipes stem wax from plant stemsApplication Crops and conditions where removal of stem waxes combined with fluffier windrows are able to achieve desired dry down times such as Coastal Grass and other mixed foragesRequires least amount of horsepower of the conditioner typesR1 Series PT Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners – Sales Tool3. Finger ConditionerApplication In crop conditions where laying out the crop in a wide “loose” windrow is sufficient to reduce moisture content to “baling” or “chopping” leveli.e. Green Feed (chopping) and Costal Hay (baling)4.
