For the treatment of fodder grasses during mowing on modern mowers install various conditioners designed to accelerate their wilting. The most extended among them are pressing rollers and shafts, equipped, as a rule, with various hammer-type beats. However, these conditioners installed on rotary mowers have a difficult drive, high mass and price. It is possible to eliminate these lacks by the use of a new conditioner [1], developed in the Federal Williams Research Center for Fodder Production and Agroecology (Moscow region), and equipped with beats for mechanical action on the stalks of grasses in the process of mowing. Beats are represent a pieces of round-link chains fixed in the upper part of cylindrical hollow drums installed vertically on the cutting discs of the rotary mower. The innovative dynamic action conditioner to the rotary mower KR-2,4M provides acceleration of field drying of the mowed grasses due to strengthening of moisture output by plants, especially the traumatized stalks which usually dry more slowly, than leaves. The constructive features of the conditioner and the principle of its action are described.
