Disc and drum mowers and mower-conditioners – Direct-cut headers
Center-of-gravity attachment that ensures constant ground pressure and a uniform cut.
The “Razor Cut” cutting unit ensures a clean and precise cut even in the most difficult forage crops, thanks to its compact, wedge-shaped profile that promotes penetration and cutting-height adjustment.
Centrally adjustable spring suspension ensuring a uniform cut with optimal ground pressure.
Optional hydraulic adjustment of ground pressure via a single cylinder. Pressure can also be adjusted while driving.
Impact protection, fitted as standard, is integrated into the bar suspension and ensures protection against impacts with foreign objects.
Wide oscillation range up to 29° upward and up to 20° downward. Ideal conditions for operating on slopes, field edges, and along ditches. A wide ground clearance of 50 cm at the headland ensures passage over swaths without damaging them and increases maneuverability in the presence of obstacles, such as fence posts.

The new three-point headstock, equipped with ground pressure adjustment and also available in the exclusive hydraulic version, represents the ultimate result in terms of operating comfort and attention to work quality. This solution allows the operator to adapt the machine setup quickly and precisely, reducing mechanical stress and optimizing field performance.
Harvesting high-quality forage first and foremost requires a clean and precise cut. To achieve this goal, not only is the build quality of the cutter bar essential, but its suspension system is of paramount importance. In the Pendulum models, the mower is pivoted and supported exactly at its center of gravity: this construction geometry ensures that ground pressure remains perfectly constant across the entire working width. The result is an extraordinarily uniform cut, achieved while minimizing draft forces and at the same time ensuring excellent lateral guidance of the machine in any field condition.
The body of the cutter bar is connected to the end of the oscillating arm by a robust central pin. This specific construction configuration results in wide freedom of pendulum oscillation and exemplary adaptation to the contours of the terrain, drastically reducing stress on the frame. To protect the entire structure and ensure maximum component longevity, the machine is equipped as standard with a proven active safety system against accidental impacts.
The spring suspension system ensures a perfectly uniform cut, while always maintaining optimal ground pressure. Designed to maximize operating comfort and reduce machine downtime, this device allows the ground pressure to be set and adjusted in an extremely simple, quick, and safe way, without the need to use any tools.
For maximum operating comfort, the exclusive hydraulic adjustment allows ground pressure to be varied directly while driving. This system completely eliminates the traditional springs, entrusting load management to a single hydraulic cylinder installed on the machine. A highly visible pressure gauge, positioned for easy reading from the tractor driver’s seat, constantly indicates the set value, allowing consistently optimal adjustment that results in reduced lateral drift and lower tractor power requirements. In addition, safety in the event of sudden impact is managed hydraulically by a dedicated cylinder located on the drawbar, ensuring timely opening of the machine to protect its integrity.
Protection against foreign objects, fitted as standard, is an extremely reliable mechanical system that operates through an adjustable spring and a robust ratchet. Integrated directly into the bar suspension, this device ensures the timely movement of the bar in the event of sudden obstacles, making work along field edges or near fences completely safe. When activated, the mower can move back up to 1.2 meters and simultaneously lift up to 40 centimeters; this particular geometric feature allows it to easily overcome hidden hazards on the ground. Once the obstacle has been cleared, the machine returns fully automatically to the correct working position, protecting the integrity of the components without interrupting mowing operations.
On models equipped with the hydraulic system, protection against foreign objects moves away from the mechanical spring-based principle and relies on advanced fluid-dynamic technology. The system operates through a dedicated hydraulic cylinder located on the drawbar, with its operating pressure constantly monitored. In the event of impact against an unexpected obstacle, the sudden change in pressure inside the hydraulic circuit instantly activates the safety release: the mower is therefore free to move back up to 1.2 meters and, at the same time, lift up to 40 centimeters to clear the hidden obstacle. Once the hazard has been overcome and the correct working pressure in the circuit has been restored, the machine returns fully automatically and smoothly to its operating position, ensuring total mechanical protection without structural stress.
The exceptional angular range, from 29° upward to 20° downward, makes the machine the ideal solution for operating with maximum effectiveness on steep slopes, field edges, and along ditches, perfectly following every ground profile. In addition, the wide ground clearance of as much as 50 centimeters when lifted at the headland ensures smooth and clean passage over newly formed swaths without the risk of trampling or damaging them, significantly increasing the maneuverability of the working unit in the presence of fixed obstacles such as fence posts. During road transfer, the machine can be folded into a rear vertical position, ensuring perfect central positioning within the tractor’s overall width. This configuration optimizes weight distribution on the axles, reduces lateral dimensions, and ensures excellent driving stability even at sustained speeds.

“RAZOR CUT” CUTTING UNIT: QUALITY MADE BY MARANGON The high-performance cutting unit, deliberately designed with a compact, wedge-shaped profile to offer a wide range of cutting-height adjustment options and allow the best penetration into the most difficult forage crops, always ensuring an optimal and clean cut.
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
WEAR PLATES
The cutting unit is equipped as standard with a series 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 protect the bar effectively, 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 stage, 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
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.
