The Keltec KM-600B butterfly mower-conditioner is the ideal solution for high capacity grass mowing and harvesting, when used in conjunction with a front mounted mower. The cutting width of the KM-600B is 9.5m when paired with a front mower.
The KM-600B butterfly mower incorporates the innovative Keltec auger grouper design. The Keltec top-pivot design facilitates a more even bed pressure and better contouring across the entire width of the machine. The disc mower bed is supported by a hydraulic ram with accumulators providing a cushioning effect and allowing the mower bed to effectively contour undulating or uneven ground. Bed pressure is adjustable to suit different ground conditions.
The auger type grouper used on the Keltec KM-6000B range is also Keltec’s own design where grass is fed into the top of the auger to provide the best grouping effect, regardless of grass conditions. The compact design of the Keltec auger-type grouper reduces the overall machine weight in comparison to a machine with a conventional belt-type grouper. An important consideration, in a fully mounted three point linkage machine.
When not grouping swaths, a hydraulic ram from the tractor opens a hood allowing the crop to be deposited directly behind the mower. Keltec engineers have designed it so that when the hood is opened, a swath former automatically moves into place. The width of the swath can be varied to suit grass conditions or machine types, such as a baler, wagon or harvester
