Merging more than 9 metres (29'6") of crop into one swath
This optional merging system groups all passes into one – cutting, conditioning and windrowing. Integral augers in the two side mowers feed the conditioned material directly to the swath left by the front mower. This optional system offers extraordinary benefits in harvest chains that do without tedding and swathing. The system produces excellently clean swaths in grass, alfalfa and wet silage, which are easily picked up by the following harvester.

Swathing: When the hoods are closed, the augers transfer the conditioned material to the center of the machine and place it into one single swath. The system leads to a significant reduction in crop contamination.

Wide spreading on one side: Open the hood on one mower only and BiG M swathes the material to one side. In one up and down operation, the machine is then cutting at widths of up to 19.4 metres (63'8") and swathes the material down to a width of only 12 metres (39'4"). These swaths are easily gathered by a Swadro 1400.

Spreading across the full width: When the hoods are open, the machine throws the conditioned material over the rotating augers and spreads it across the working width for uniform and rapid drying. This eliminates the tedding pass.
