A new, compact front mower

At the Agritechnica exhibition Lely will be introducing the new Splendimo 300 FS. The new mower is for front mounting and features a 3 m working width, a pendular headstock and specially designed swath-formers. Due to its compactness and low centre of gravity, this mower provides extra benefits for working on slopes. The mower is also ideally suited to zero grazing because of its low power requirements, narrow swaths as well as compact dimensions.

The newly engineered pendular headstock ensures that the machine has ample room to move in the horizontal plane thereby following the ground contours. Vertical movements are catered by flotation in the front linkage system, assisted by two large springs. Flotation may be altered via adjustment of the springs. The interaction between the vertical movement of the linkage system and the pendular movement of the mower ensures perfect ground contour following, eliminating sward damage.

To be able to lay down narrow swaths, the mower features the modular Splendimo cutter bar in a 7 disc configuration, with all discs rotating towards the centre. Because of the top extensions on the two outer discs, guides and swath discs, this mower achieves the required narrow swaths without the need for driven swath-formers.

The Lely Splendimo 300 FS further meets the needs of our customer for front mowers. This model is a welcome enhancement to the current range of front mowers. Lely has made its range of Splendimo mowers even more attractive to cattle farmers and contractors alike.
