It can deliver variable width swaths, while a low rotor speed is particularly useful for more delicate crops.
At the heart of the machine, the FC 3515 D model is fitted with the Optidisc Elite cutter bar, well-known for its robustness and cutting quality, requiring no maintenance and fitted as standard with the Fast-Fit quick knife release system.
The Lift-Control suspension offers constant ground pressure control for improved plant cover protection, complemented with a break-back system for protection from impact with immoveable objects and nonstop return to work. The pivoting point, with a wide offset to the left also contributes to an effective protection of the working parts around the area of the first discs.
For operations undertaken in hilly areas, or with medium-sized tractors, an adaptable counterweight on the left side of the frame is available as optional equipment, to help alleviate any instability.
