Open the auger hoods and the system will distribute the material across the full working width. Specified with V-type steel tines and baffle plate, the conditioner spans the entire work width for a uniform flow of crop, optimum conditioning and light and fluffy swaths. It eliminates one tedding pass and produces higher quality silage and hence higher quality forage.

The joystick controls all key functions. Forming an integral part of the armrest, it lifts and lowers the mowers separately or all three simultaneously and also activates the quick-stop function and the transmission.

The EasyTouch colour screen displays all major machine information. The push buttons open the sub menus and program the individual functions. The dial alters the parameters.

Feeding the crop from only one mower to the centre of the machine is a good option when operating along field boundaries. To do that, simply close the auger hood on the mower that is running next to the field border. This system pays dividends, because it allows all subsequent operations to be carried out more effectively and faster. Operating only one auger in up-and-down operation, BiG M 500 will produce four swaths of 16 metres (52’5″) from a total work width of 26 metres (85’4″), ideal for further wilting and merging by a six-rotor central rake in one pass.
