This ‘Fella’ makes cutting more flexible

Written by 

FELLA HAS launching a trailed mower with transport chassis and centrally linked drawbar. The SM 3065 Trans with a working width of 3.00 m and the SM 3575 Trans with a working width of 3.50 m are both available with roller or tine-rotor conditioner.

 

Because the drawbar is centrally linked the mower can be easily swung to the left and right behind the tractor, the company says. This offers the flexibility of mowing to suit the ground surface and any other requirement, for example, when forage is lying on the ground, on sloping terrain and for contour line work.

The high lifting height (600mm) of the new trailed mower at the headland is made possible by lifting the transport wheels. The resulting ground clearance is perfectly suited for travelling effortlessly over mowed swathes, Fella says.

The freedom of movement of the mower unit in working position of up to 400 mm can be relied upon to prevent the it from contacting the ground and digging into the sward, including even on closely undulating terrain.

The trailed hitch attachment of the SM 3065 Trans/SM 3575 Trans ensures good ground adaptation as well as ground-conserving and fuel-saving mowing.

Operator convenience is high, the maker says. Fold-up hoods give good cutter bar access, and steplessly variable cutting-height adjustment, without tools, speeds the job.

A robust pivoting gearbox puts less strain on the driveshaft even in sharp bends.

 The tool box is integrated in the drawbar.

The mower with roller conditioner suits low-impact conditioning of leafy forage, good for large volumes. 

With the tine-rotor conditioner version the possibility of adjusting the conditioning intensity in five positions without the use of tools makes for flexibility regardless of weather.

The SM 3065 Trans / SM 3575 Trans is fitted with Fella’s Driveguard overload protection as standard equipment. 

Fella is imported in New Zealand by C B Norwood Distributors Ltd.
