Disc and drum mowers and mower-conditioners – Direct-cut headers

LIGHTWEIGHT SIDE-MOUNTED DISC MOWER

Lightweight design and ease of use for handling and transport
Adaptability to any terrain
Long-lasting durability

Developed to handle both flat and hilly surfaces with maximum efficiency, this side-mounted mower stands out for its exceptional ease of use and reduced weight.

The transmission is entrusted to four SPBX toothed belts and oil-bath gears, an ideal configuration that makes the machine perfect even for low-power tractors. Optimal setup on variable terrain is ensured by an efficient spring shock absorber and angular adjustment via the tractor’s top link. Safety in the field is guaranteed by a protection device that provides automatic rearward movement of the cutter bar in the event of impact with obstacles. Finally, parallel lifting and the single-acting cylinder make end-of-field maneuvers and road transport easier. Standard equipment includes essential accessories such as the swath-narrowing kit and the disc with conveyor cone on the right-hand side.

Technical Specifications

SIDE-MOUNTED THREE-POINT HITCH

The side attachment of the cutter bar, available for categories I and II, is designed to offer a wide range of movement. This exceptional upward and downward oscillation capacity allows MDN mowers to perfectly follow the ground profile, making them ideal for working on slopes and on particularly undulating or uneven terrain.

STANDARD SIDE DRUMS

They allow the mown grass to be conveyed smoothly, enabling the formation of a regular swath for improved crop management and collection.

SUSPENSION

Featuring an efficient spring shock absorber, this system allows the ground pressure of the mower to be adjusted to ensure a consistently uniform and professional cut. Proper load balancing also maximizes machine performance and minimizes wear.

A dedicated graduated label on the spring indicates the optimal suspension setup, which the operator can conveniently set while seated in the cab through simple adjustment of the tractor’s rear lift.

SWATHING DISC

The mower is equipped as standard with an external swathing disc, while the internal component — which allows the swath width to be further reduced — is available as an option. This system ensures even more precise and clean crop conveying, making subsequent collection operations easier.

“NO STOP” SAFETY SYSTEM

The safety device, integrated into the machine attachment, allows the mower to move back immediately for protection in the event of impact with foreign objects or obstacles. Once activated, the system resets completely mechanically and automatically, allowing work to resume without having to get off the tractor.

TRANSMISSION

Power transmission is entrusted to four SPBX toothed belts. This flexible configuration allows the mower to operate at both positive and negative angles, enabling the cutter bar to accurately follow uneven ground, such as slopes, banks, and embankments.

GUARD ASSEMBLY

The guard frame is entirely galvanized to ensure maximum durability over time, effectively counteracting steel corrosion caused by the acids in the mown forage.

To facilitate cutter bar cleaning and quick blade replacement, the front guard can be fully lifted. This system eliminates obstructions during maintenance, making every component of the cutter bar easily accessible.

ROAD TRANSPORT

During transport, the mower folds sideways while remaining perfectly within the tractor’s overall width. This configuration ensures optimal weight distribution on the axles and full visibility during transfers, providing maximum stability and safety while driving.

OTHER FEATURES

“RAZOR CUT” CUTTING UNIT: QUALITY MADE BY MARANGON
The high-performance cutting unit, deliberately designed with a compact, wedge-shaped profile to offer wide adjustment possibilities for cutting height and allow the best penetration into the most difficult forage crops, always ensuring an optimal, clean cut.

  • Opposed rotation: Models equipped with opposed disc rotation direction (with the discs rotating toward each other in pairs) deposit the crop spread out and widened on the ground.

 

CLEAN CUT TECHNOLOGY
Stripe-free cutting thanks to the optimal overlap of the blade trajectories.

“FIRST AID KIT” MAIN SUPPORT
The main support assembly, consisting of a single block fixed with six screws, allows quick, individual, and simple inspection of the gearbox.

COVER WITH INTEGRATED “C” REINFORCEMENT
The thick cover with integrated “C” reinforcement, unique in its kind, eliminates flexing of the cutting unit in order to prevent twisting of the moving components.

ROUND DISC

  • Protected mechanics: The round profile offers a smaller impact surface and greater shock dispersion, protecting the entire cutter bar.
  • Forage integrity: High quality of the cut crop. Further processing of the forage is avoided, so it remains intact and clean.
  • Blade protection and durability: The blades (129 mm for perfect overlap) do not work for the full rotation of the disc: once mowing has been completed, they retract into protection under the adjacent disc. This significantly increases their service life.
  • Efficiency: Lower power absorption and full interchangeability between discs once worn.

 

WEAR PLATES
The cutting unit is equipped as standard with a set of wear-resistant boron steel skids, designed to provide the gear housing with maximum protection against any risk of damage in the field. The rounded reinforcements positioned between the skids effectively protect the bar, while the profiling on the underside prevents material build-up, allowing the mown crop to flow without interruption.

ADDITIONAL WEAR PLATES
The additional wear plate kit can be fitted directly at the factory on request, or it can be installed easily and quickly by the user at a later date (aftermarket) after purchasing the MARANGON mower. Stamped and made of wear-resistant boron steel, these elements provide additional protection for the cutting unit.

“TOPPING SKIDS”
Raising plate that allows the cutting height to be increased in order to perform so-called “Topping” (cutting only the upper part of the plant). This operation stops the apical growth of the crop, stimulating the development of the lower part; livestock entering the pasture afterwards will therefore find a much richer and more nutritious crop.

QUICK BLADE CHANGE
Quick-change system for fast blade replacement using the dedicated key, specifically designed to minimize downtime in the field and increase hourly productivity.
Available for all Marangon disc mowers and mower-conditioners.

LOWER DISC SCRAPERS
Module consisting of two scrapers made of hardened wear-resistant material that ensure constant cleaning of the lower part of the disc. The accessory can also be installed after purchasing a MARANGON cutter bar, as the disc is already natively prepared for aftermarket installation.
Available for all Marangon disc mowers and mower-conditioners.

“SAFE CUT” DISC SAFETY SYSTEM

  • Transmission components fully protected
  • No wear on the main components.
  • Quick and simple replacement of the safety pins, with minimal repair costs.

Users know this well: accidental impacts against foreign objects and stones can cause serious damage and high repair costs. With the “SAFE CUT” system, we offer maximum protection at reduced costs. Protection of the cutting discs against impacts (available on request) is a unique solution on the market for operational safety and comfort.
