Vertical transport position behind the tractor.
Excellent performance in terms of lightness and adaptability on any terrain.
Robust oil-bath transmission.

Pendulum side-mounted mower, ensuring a clean cut and “No Stop” safety. Versatile, with angular adjustment and conditioning options.

Pendulum mowers take their name from the particular pivot point connecting the machine body to the entire suspension system, a geometric solution that ensures excellent performance in terms of lightness and perfect adaptability to any type of terrain. Primary transmission is entrusted to a robust oil-bath gearbox, strategically positioned under the drawbar attachment to optimize power flows. In the standard configuration, a double-spring shock absorber acts on it, allowing extremely precise adjustment of the ground pressure, enabling the machine to faithfully follow the ground profile for an always sharp and clean cut. As an option, the machine can be equipped with an advanced nitrogen accumulator damping system, ideal for even easier, faster, and more intuitive mower set-up directly from the cab. The range offers great operating versatility, with models covering working widths from 2.45 to 4.00 meters to meet every specific farm requirement. For those who need to optimize forage drying times, conditioning systems are also available on all models up to the 3.20-meter size.

GUARANTEED COMFORT

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.

PENDULUM CENTER-OF-GRAVITY ATTACHMENT

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.

STURDINESS AND GROUND ADAPTATION

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.

STANDARD SUSPENSION

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.

SOFT ACTIVE HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION

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.

MECHANICAL IMPACT PROTECTION

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.

SOFT ACTIVE IMPACT PROTECTION

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.

SAFELY TO YOUR DESTINATION

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.

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 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.

  • 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 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.
