Changeable weather often leaves narrow time windows for mowing, so areas must be harvested ever more quickly and efficiently. Fendt has developed a new range of butterfly mowers specifically for contractors and large farms. The new range of 12 models feature the powerful Streamline cutter bar as standard. In addition, there are equipment options such as the newly developed groupers and ISOBUS functions, such as a speed-dependent control of the contact pressure, automations for the conditioner and the lateral shift or Section Control.
The new Fendt Slicer model range of mower combinations is available in two working widths: Fendt Slicer 960 and Fendt Slicer 1010, each with conditioner. The 960 stands for a maximum working width of 9.60 meters and the 1010 for a maximum working width of 10.10 meters. Models with the suffix KC are equipped with a tine conditioner, while the RC designation refers to the roller conditioner. The Pro suffix indicates ISOBUS functions, while the B designation stands for groupers. The series includes the following butterfly mowers:
Thanks to a pendulum travel of -19° to +26°, the mower works precisely even in undulating terrain. Using two pins, the mower units are positioned 15 cm further in or out, without shortening the PTO shaft, in order to overlap optimally with the front mower unit.
